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?
Remember the days back when we all were kids, and used to bust out an insane amount of races at those summer league meets? My league let us do 3 of 4 strokes, one IM and one relay - all in meets that lasted 2.5 hours. And what did we do afterwards but eat pizza, then play sharks&minnows for 3 hours.
