Hey everyone, once again I have a question.
In masters swimming is your age, just the age you are during a meet? I am 20 at the moment, but will be 21 on March 4. Not that it really makes much of a difference (as I will be in the same age group), but I am attending a meet on March 3-4th.
It depends upon which type of pool you are swimming in. If the meet is being swum in a 25 or 50 meter pool, then your age is as of December 31 of the year the meet is held. If you are swimming in a 25 yard pool, then your age is as of the last day of the meet. So if you birthday is on the last day and you would move up, you swim in the new age group for the entire meet.
