: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.
Given the events you've chosen, you will have to swim the 500 three times. :D
In the future, even if you do have times for a specific event, I think it is ok to adjust your seed time and provide your best estimate of the time you think you will swim at the date of the meet. It's a kind of honor system, but I think the meet director has the right to change it if you are sandbagging. The seeding rules for national meet entries may be stricter.
