I am guessing this will be the fastest of the Masters SCM meets. Who is coming to town ? Who is ready to suit up one last time ?

Quit buggin' the meet director. He's got better things to do than listen to those who wants a break, and the next call is from someone who wants to put the relays somewhere else because people can't (won't?) stay all day to swim them. With a meet this big, you can never please everyone.
There is no such thing as a 30 minute break.
Definitely agree that the race director does not need to get 200+ emails asking for a break! (Glenn, please edit your post!)
But Julie, this is a valid request from swimmers and it could certainly be accomodated.
Maybe not at this meet, but in the future with planning. The rough time-line really helps us all - coaches and swimmers. Everyone needs to use it.
I find it interesting that the same athletes so concerned about the length of the meet are the same asking for warm-up time between events.
This is the championships. Plan for it - food - reading - nice relaxing time with good friends.
How about coming out to support your team mates for some of the day?
Offering to timing in a lane for a few heats/events?
Need to get out of the building? Take a lunch (starbucks) order for your team and make a food run!
Sorry I just don't see it as a long boring day... or even 3 days.
There are 601 swimmers who have worked hard toward swims in this meet and they're the ones who make it fun - if they're happy.
