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!!

There are multiple heats in each, and there are separate events (usually) for men and women, so you'd probably have about 10 minutes to recover.
Sort of a moot point since it sounds like she isn't swimming back-to-back events now, but I'm fairly certain at this meet there are not separate events for men and women--everyone is seeded together.
