  • There will most likely be someone who swims considerably faster than their seed time at any meet, either by choice or not. It doesn't bother me, even if I know that the person next to me will finish 5 sec faster than me in a 100. Only way to prevent it would be to swim heats and finals, but that would make a three day meet drag on for two weeks! Agree with others: worry about your own race.
