I never competed, so I really do not know anything about what levels of competition there are out there.I see a lot of posts about different meets.What different kinds are there?How do you qualify for them and who gets excepted?And ... what times do you want to have(freestyle, say) not to look stupid?
Sorry about my ignorance, but the swimming world is something I am learning litlle by little.
Thanks.

Hey Hooked! I just wanted to say that I think it's awesome what you are doing and that you gave me the extra kick in the pants that I needed to start competeing. I've been on a several years hiatus from swimming, but now that I'm back I wanted to compete but wasn't sure how to go about it, and I wasn't sure if I would make a complete fool out of myself. But by reading your posts and seeing that there are other people out there in the same situation, it has helped me to gain the courage that I was lacking. So I just wanted to say thanx and good luck in your meets!!
