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.

In high school, our coach made it a meet rule for us to stay in our lane until the last person was finished. She asked us how we would feel after finishing a race, if we looked around and everyone had gotten out already! I think it's common courtesy to wait for everyone to complete before exiting the pool.
Bump on that.
