Masters Meets

I just began really learning strokes in July 2022. I am competitive (with myself) and want to establish some official times to help guide my training. 
I don’t want to totally embarrass myself at a meet. Are there slower swimmers at these meets? Like, 1:40 100 Fr slow? 
thanks!

  • I had the same concern going to a meet.  Yes, there are slower swimmers.  The heats are are seeded by time (the one I was in was slowest seed times to fastest).  Go out, establish some times for yourself, and have fun.  It is not quite as intimidating as it feels at first.
