I don't know about USS meets but here in Canada you swim the age you were as of the sanction date,
ie you don't change age groups.

According to the meet sheets, it is your age as of the FIRST DAY of the meet.

Interesting twist though - if your birthday is the second day of the meet, and so you swim (for
example) in the 11&12 100 Free on that day while you are really 13, you cannot set or break the
11&12 record - 'cause you are 13!
