What do people think is the ideal number of events to swim per day at a meet? It seems that, for local meets, you're allowed to enter up to 5 events. That is way too many for me. I'm always gassed after 3 or end up scratching an event or relying on caffeine. Yet, I'd like to get more times in different events without traveling the countryside to go to zillions of meets. So, how many is too many if you want to swim fast?

Leslie- don't forget relays, they can be the wildcard that takes you over the top for fatigue. Our local meet sports 4 relay slots in a one day meet, and yes, you're expected to be available for all of them. I was excused from the 4th one last year after emerging from the 100 brst with a facial colour one smartaleck teamate likened to 'bruised plum'.
