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:
yikes! ... thanks for the advice. I'll keep my eyes and ears open for sure! lol...
My coach was telling me last night to also pay attention to the event that they're annouoncing while you're on the block.. He said sometimes when you're in a bunch of events it's easy to forget which one your doing at the moment! lol...
He added.. if that happens, just take an extra long glide and see what everyone else is doing :p
I'm excited! I think it will be fun.
Thanks for the support, I'll let you know how it turns out!
