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.

At most of the big meets from regionals on up, part of the instructions often printed in the meet announcement, will have special rules specifying how and when the exit from the pool
may or must be done, usually with the reasons for so doing.
Thus, what might be construed as rude by the uninitiated is exactly in compliance.
