In my roommates case, he got a few dirty looks, and one snide comment like, "you may want to enter faster times in your next meet". My roommate is a really nice guy, and stopped to explain what happened, which circulated amongst the older competitor's pretty quickly. He didn't get any comments for the rest of his events, but still got a few dirty looks.
It wasn't that big of a deal looking back on it now....and I agree that the letter of the law is a little hard to interpret.
My buddy swam all 200's that day. He swam the 200 IM in around 2:15 that day while the rest of his heat finished in, like, 6 - 8 minutes. There was a REALLY big difference. If you're only doing 50's, the difference won't be as pronounced.
Ok, well, I am in 50's and 100's, I will ask the coach and see if there is enough time to change it. (Meet is hosted in the facility where I swim).
