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!!

I was practicing my 200 today and just for fun decided to time it. When I finished and looked at the clock it said 2:54 and a few odd hundreths!! That was down 8 seconds from the last time I timed myself!!:eek: Now my question is, when I plugged this time into the converter, it showed a seed time that is almost 10 seconds off what I have on my form. Should I change the time in hopes that I will swim that good at the meet, or leave it to cover my back?
