I did it. I finally got the guts to sign up for my first masters swim meet. I am a little nervous (ok a lot nervous!) about it. From what I have read on here, the atmosphere at most places is pretty friendly and welcoming. Would anyone like to share anything with me on what to expect? How different is it than an age group (other than the obvious lack of kids and parents running around) meet or a high school meet? Those are my only meet experiences. I don't think that it is a large meet, but I am a little nervous about how this whole "masters" thing works.
Thanks!
My first Masters meet was in 2004 and it was a SCM. It was a different experience but I only did SCM in summer league when I was a kid and the longest event was a 100 IM. So, it was weird to do events like the 200 IM, fly, and 400 IM in SCM. The Atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming. I was there with people from my workout group at the time and unlike my old age group club, it was great to be around nice people.
