Thanks to everyone who replied to my post requesting info on participating in my first meet. Now, I have one more question: how do I choose which events to enter? I am currently a VERY SLOW swimmer. My 50 free times are on par with my teammates' 100 frees. My 200 free takes nearly four minutes, though competitive times in my age group are in the realm of 2:30 - 2:50. You get the picture. My dead grandmother can swim faster than me!
Despite my severe lack of speed, I have been strongly encouraged to participate in an upcoming meet. How do I choose an event since I am bad at everything? (Don't tell me to chose an event that I'd enjoy; I have no idea what that might be.)
Any suggestions?

I searched around the internet and found you an example of a DQ slip that gives the most common disqualifications. You may have to have someone interpret them however. The site with a DQ slip, although a USAS one, the majority of it applies to USMS. www.floridaswimming.org/officials Info.htm There are three examples as well as a host of other things.
