There is a Master's meet in Atlanta this Sunday which starts at 10 AM. I haven't been to one before so I was wondering how long they last and is there a certain order to the events.
One thing that is worth pointing out... one of the major reasons that many masters meets are longer than they should be us because masters swimmers are terrible with seed times. Most masters swimmers enter meets with very rough estimate seed times, and that affects the length of the meet.
Even worse, entering with "no time." Come on, you can at least estimate a time. Presumably you've at least done the event in practice.
What you end up with is a heat of "NT" swimmers whose speeds are all over the map. If this is a longer event it can significantly impact the timeline.
