Choosing your first meet.

Any thoughts? From my perspective, former swimmer, back for about a month, I'd REALLY like to swim a few meets. How did you choose? When were you ready? How did you choose events? How did it go? Also, maybe some commentary on those who have no competitive swimming background. How did you prepare?

    So, is it okay to wear just a random polyester suit? And... What is an appropriate warmup? swimming about 2500 3xweek at this point, will be racing only sprints. My favorite in the past was a 500 fr then 400 IM drill/kick/drill/swim, 2-3 50's and a couple 25's (12.5 AFAP, 12.5 recovery), 2-3 starts and then another 100-200 right before each race but that seems a touch long.
