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:
ok, one more question then...
The one meet I was in during high school, I believe my goggles rolled down to my chin as I dove in.. It was ridiculous! lol.. I was swimming my hardest and couldn't see very well, I felt like a total bozo, and I know I looked like one!
I have one opportunity tonight at practice to try going off the blocks with them on, that is, if the Y will let me because they are always covered. :(
Should I just scratch the goggles all together, or is there some "swimmers trick" to diving in that I don't know about?
thanks for the encouragement by the way.. it's GREATLY appreciated.. you guys all rock!
