:dunno: I recently registered for my first swim meet and I have a few questions:
1. I signed up for the 1000yd and 500yd free events. I am wondering how many times will I have to swim those distances in the meet? Once or twice?
2. As this is my first meet, I do not have any prior race times. I filled out the event sheet with my estimated times for each event. Was that correct or should I have left the times blank?
Thanks in advance.

Congratulations, Jamie for taking the plunge and signing up for your first swim meet!
1. USMS meets do not have prelims and finals, so you will only have to swim each race once.
2. Providing an estimated time was fine. This will help the meet organizers place you in a heat with swimmers of similar speed. You could have also put "NT" (no time) down, since you have never raced in a meet, but it's no big deal either way. Don't think another thing about it, and just go to the meet and have a blast!
Good luck! :cheerleader:
