Had a friend there that was supposed to swim the 50 FR...would have definitely competed for one of the top 3 spots in his age group...
Even pool, lane 10...
Take your marks....stand...take your marks...nothing!!! There were 2 or 3 empty lanes next to him going back toward the timer...everyone else took off and started swimming. Myself and about 5 or 6 other people stood there, never having heard a sound...He went over and talked to the starter...starter refused to let him swim in a open lane in any of the following heats. There was no official on that end of the pool for that start...so she could not verify...she was out of position.
His son got kicked off the deck for arguing with the starter on behalf of his dad...
