Hi all,
I'm at the Orlando LCM meet. They have me listed as an incorrect age - 34. I kept a copy of my entry sheet and it clearly lists me as my correct birthday and age (35). I brought this to the attention of the meet director Nick.
He said he would fix it after the meet. However, the heat sheets and results list me as 30 to 34 age group. So, I'm showing up as first in 30 to 34 and felt the results should reflect me in the 35 to 39 age group.
My times are enough to get me into top 10 in 35 to 39 - 200 fly and 800 free.
So, I'd like them to count as top 10s (I've had many of my top 10s not count in the past due to administrative errors such as not measuring the pool etc.)
What else should I do in this situation? What are the rules? Should I just not worry about it and let him fix it at the end of the meet? Or do I need to insist that he correct it now so the results are correct? My birthday is 9/22/72 and as of 12/31/07, I'm 35.
Thanks to anyone who knows.

Thank you all so very much for the great responses!
I really appreciate it. I can relax a bit more now.
Anna Lea, I have NO IDEA where the admin error was made. But tomorrow I will be sure to ask the person running the HyTek program. Thank you for the words of wisdom.
Winnie, I doubt I set any GA records. I have no idea where the GA records are posted anyway. I was happy to just swim my line up and survive. It was fun swimming lots of different events. I love my 50 fr.
Fort, I swam 800 fr, 50 fr, 200 fly (7 minutes rest between the 50 fr and 200 fly) and the 200 fr. I most likely missed top 10 in the 50 and 200 fr. Yes. Odd choice of events for me. But, I'm trying to branch out above and beyond my beloved 50s. Times weren't great but I guess my 50 fr was still a personal best at 28.89. Tomorrow is 100 and 50 flys and 400 fr. 200 fly was long and smooth (a bit more than a warm down) - went 2:40.something. 10:08 in 800.
Tomorrow after all my swims - Cocoa beach! Yippee!!
Will be sure to remind the meet director of the issue again tomorrow and check on where the error occurred in hy-tek.
Thank you! Kristina
