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!

you're not alone. I've been encouraged to go for it and challenge against yourself not compare with others. I also am slower than usual but it will be an unforgettable experience :)
