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) :)
Good luck and don't worry about your first meet. We had a number of first time Masters swimmers at our Eastern NC Long Course meet last Saturday, and all were excited to find out how nice and supportive we oldtimers are. We even had one guy who was swimming his first meet in 50 years who just dove right in and swam as his first event the 1500!
Welcome to the club!
