Hi, i'm new to USMS and have been swimming 2-3 time per week for about 4 weeks. Usually doing between 3500 and 5Km. I just signed up for my first meet since high school. I'll be swimming in the Gil Young Memorial/Northwest Zone LCM Meet. I would love some pionters or any advice anyone has. I'm excited, but also a bit nervous. I'll be swimming the following events:
50Br
200Fr
100Br
50Fl
and maybe the 800Fr (this is the last event of the day and I'm not sure if i'll have enough left to do this one) :)
With my group, we have to compete in the 25+ age group, and it's way to hard to make an LMSC record when the rest of my teammates are 50+/60+ in age. I still swim relays for fun though, but I'm not going to skip an event for a relay. They're only 50s or 100s anyway.
First,it's meters so having older swimmers is an advantage as the ages are cumulative,second,we have a shot at a WR in the 400 Mixed MR if everyone shows up and swims well.
