I've heard different opinions on tapering. I also know that Sprinters and Distance swimmers generally taper differently, however, is there a general rule that one should use to know when they should taper? And what they should be doing during taper?

I'm a sprinter, and I'm not saying that this is advisable, but I continue my lifting, running, and swimming program right up until two days before the meet. Doing this, I've posted my best times ever... even faster than when I swam in college. Hopefully that trend will continue when I swim at Nationals in two weeks!
