Hi everyone. I'm a slow fitness swimmer who hasn't competed since I was 14, but I'd like to start participating just because it looks fun. I understand that anyone *can* swim up to 3 events at Nationals, but do non-qualifiers take advantage of that? What proportion of heats 'd like to go, but don't want to slow everyone else down.
Never had an NQT, and never been to Nationals.
In a wholly unscientific and random look at Nationals results for my age group,
there are usually a few swims (and seed times) in each event around my times or slower, i.e. slower than the NQT.
A quick search on a few of these swimmers showed that some had no NQTs and a some had 1 or more NQTs.
