How many people swim at Nationals that DON'T qualify?

I'm curious as to how many people actually swim the three allowed events at Nationals if they don't qualify? I can easily get to the Greensboro facility and am considering swimming, but am worried about being one of a handful of 'slow' swimmers! I'm probably worrying about nothing, but I gotta know! Thanks!

  • waves101 is 100% correct. You absolutely should go! The qualifying times are irrelevant because you can swim 3 events without meeting any of them. It's more about the experience and the people and the fun to be had. There's a place for everyone to swim, no matter what speed they are. Definitely attend if you have even a small interest in going. I've never regretted going to nationals!
