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.

Meg, thanks for your response as well.
I'm not certain as to where the error was made (turns out other swimmers had their ages listed incorrectly as well.) But, come Sunday morning prior to the meet starting, the correct results (with correct ages) were posted and the heat sheets for that day were correct and updated as well. So, kudos to the Orlando swim team and YMCA for making the corrections pretty quickly and prior to the meet concluding!
