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 found your name on the heat sheet a couple times and was going to try to watch you swim, then the meet got going and I was watching my teammates, etc. and never did see you. Sorry about that! Where were you sitting? I was down by the hot tub.
Now you have to swim at the meet in Federal Way, WA in April. It's an awesome pool. If you swim there I won't flake out and miss you again, I promise! :)
Thank you!! I am definately going to try and make the April meet! I love that pool!! I was sitting under the clock over by the lifeguards chair, to the right if you looked at it head on. No worries about not seeing me swim. If I had teammates, I would have watched them too. :D
