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?

The real reason I responded was this. I don't even weigh any more than I did when I stopped swimming at 18, but for some reason I sprouted hips during college and I can't get ANY of my (many) old bathing suits up anymore. :( I only have one that fits anymore, which is sad. In high school I was known for having a large collection of wild suits.
Something similar happened to me after I stopped swimming in college. I call it secondary puberty. My entirely unresearched guess is that maybe all the exercise I'd done for a long time had suppressed some of it the first time around. Who knows... :dunno:
Time for a new collection of wild suits! I have one (unfortunately now faded to almost unwearable) that has double decker buses, teacups, umbrellas, and other English things on it. Hilarious.
