This thread is a spin off from the "swimming against the young guns" thread. Many of us Masters compete in USA Swimming meets each year and have found these meets to be a very enjoyable....for many reasons. Tell us your favorite experience(s). I have been swimming USA meets for the past two years and have a bunch of them. I am 37. I'll start off with this one...
"Kids say the darndest things" (part 1):
I entered my first long course meters meet two summers ago. A group of 15+ year old boys were looking at the heat/lane posting on the wall. They said, "Wow, look at this old guy...he entered his yards time...he doesn't even know this is a meters meet...we're gonna whip his butt...this is gonna be great!" And they all high fived each other.
They were quite wrong.
