Going to My First Meet!... YIKES

Ok, I'm 31 and I swam I think one freestyle relay before in my life during high school... I have recently found a coach here to swim with, and I'm going to my first meet on Saturday.. I'm a bit nervous... I have NO IDEA what events to swim.. I don't know if I'll be a better distance or sprint swimmer, but I'd like to try maybe a middle distance, and an IM.. (I really like IMs ;) ) I know i'll be slow, but I'm looking at this as having some starting times to work on. Does anyone have any suggestions for what events I might try for my first time out? Jeanette..:rolleyes:

    Jeanette, GOOD LUCK AT YOUR MEET!! You're going to do awesome! I know exactly what you're feeling. February was my first ever! I had a blast. As far as picking events go, I justed picked stuff I liked. I also asked my friend who coaches me on occasion, so ask your coach. They will know your strong and weak points and probably offer some excellent insight. Good Luck again at your meet!! Remember to have fun!!! Let us know how it goes! ~Kyra
