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.

  • If I said that we could have the same meet, and all of the same swimmers, but finish an hour earlier, would you be interested?-Rick You guys have really long meets up there! Our zone meets are usually over by 2-3:00 pm. Of course, it would be better to chop an hour off and go home to rest. I just think seeding is not a science for most masters swimmers unless you are very, very experienced, which I certainly am not. My seed times are always effected by how I feel when I fill out the entry form or if I've attempted, in some fashion, to taper. Aside from the event mentioned above, I'm swimming an event I've never swum before at zones on a lark -- and I promise I will make a GF estimate of my time. But I really could be off by 3 seconds either way. I don't even have a practice time to help guesstimate.
