I'm fine with it. I don't care one iota. Let swimmers do what they want. Sometimes beginners don't know what their times are.
Sometimes I enter back to back events at small meets with slow times or no times to get more rest before my next event. I did that this weekend in the 200 IM, I entered NT no time because the 50 fly was next. I was done with my race before one swimmer in my heat finished the 50 fly. I had time for a 300 swim down. I got 15 minutes rest before the 50 fly instead of 5.
Sometimes distance events are seeded slowest to fastest, faster swimmers might not want to wait for the 45 minute to one hour milers to finish their race.
Sometimes swimmers are trying to catch flights at away meets by trying to swim in an earlier heat of the last event.
I know there are some sticklers who get all bent out of shape over this and call it sand bagging, so what. Let swimmers do what is in their best interest to maximize their performance and fit their schedule and needs. A lane is a lane. Who cares?
