Best events for an adult newbie?

CETPC

I am considering signing up for my first swim meet at 41 years old. Which events are best for a newbie?

    Allen nailed it.  The best events to swim are the ones you like the most!  I'm slow at butterfly, but I love swimming it, so I always sign up for the 200 fly.

    It's your first meet; don't worry about your race times or how you place in your race.  Just go out and have fun!  Having said that, I would recommend deciding on your race line up now and then doing some practice sessions where you swim those races in order.  

    Let us know how it goes, ok?  Good luck!
