I am about to enter my first race but I am not sure what events to do. I ran track years ago and did better at the middle distance events (800 and 1600). What events would be better for me as a swimmer? I am still relatively new to swimming and don't even know what times I should be aiming to swim. Any advice?

swim everything
50's, 100's, 200's, 400's 800's & 1500's
find out what your times are
figure out what you like
see how your times relate to each other
decide on your goals
running fitness does not always translate to swimming fitness
