After reading the Senior Games posting, I got thinking about "rude" behavior I have observed at a Masters Meet. I have not seen rudeness as much as observing improper pool etiquette.
My pet peeve is: When a heat is over, the fast swimmers don't wait until all swimmers have finished their swim before exiting the water. I would think that when the slower finisher discovers that he/she is the last one in the pool, he/she would be rather disheartened.

I will be swimming the 1500 for the first time ever this summer. I hope the people who lap me DO get out of the pool, because I don't want to see them sitting on the wall knowing that I have an entire 100m to go! Just a personal preference, though. When I was an age-grouper we were told to wait till everyone finishes, sans relays of course.
