You would pay $45 to enter the meet and find out that the swimmer in the next lane paid $27.50.
You heat would be delayed for 3 hours and you could not go the bathroom. Whereas the event scheduled behind you would have already finished.
TSA (thousands standing around) would search all the swimmers prior to gaining entry to the pool deck. Some lucky winners (90-94 y) would be pulled off for special full body searches.
The shady spots on the pool deck are more expensive.
There is surcharge for using the newest speed suit (!$#@).

You would have 6 exits from the pool. Two up front, two in the middle, and two in the back of the pool.
You get oxygen masks after racing that look like margarine tubs.
You drink Ginger Ale instead of Gatorade or sports drink.
The meet BBQ social event consists of peanuts and a quarter of a frozen turkey sandwich.
The locker room is the size of a shoe box.
During the meet while waiting to compete, you get to watch 10 year old episodes of Seinfeld, Just Shoot Me, and Friends. If it is a long meet, they will show a compelling feature film like Mr. Bean.
