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) :)
1. Have fun - If you're all alone, sit with a team that seems to be having fun...they'll surely welcome you
2. Bring snacks, and lots of 'em
3. If you wear glasses, bring them with you! Those heat sheets are impossible for me to read - - - though asking someone to help you find your name on the sheet is an easy way to meet people.
4. Have fun!
