On February 20, I'm hoping to go to my first swim meet......ever! :eek: I swam on the team when I was younger, but I never competed. I'm incredibly nervous already and I have no idea what to expect because I have never been to a meet before. I swam with my friend who is a coach, and I have what seems like a lot of work to do on my strokes. How realistic is it that I be ready by February? Obviously I won't be at the top of the field, but I'm hoping to at least not make a fool out of myself. But what I really want to know is what to expect. How do I train, and how do I taper? When do I start tapering? Do I even need to taper? Any good pre-meet workout ideas? Any thing that anyone can suggest would be helpful!!! Thanx a bunch!!

So it's time that I choose my events, the meet is a little over a month away! (I'm really excited!!) I was wondering how many events should I take for my first time. I was thinking of doing the 100 IM, 50 free, and 100 back. The only thing is that the 100 back is right after the 50 free. How much of a difference would that make in my race? Should I consider doing a different event so that they are farther apart? Thanks so much for all your help and support!!!
