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 have a question for the group.........
Besides doing the "New" style backstroke turn or open turn- can you still legally do the "old" style backstroke? (You know--touching with a hand while still on your back and flipping you legs up over your shoulder--while still on your back) I went to the FINA site, but no real guidance for "old" style turns.. Help??
(I know I probably dating myself)
