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?

I swim only as many events as I can swim well. I like freestyle events at 200 and under so my options are limited anyhow. Although I think I might delve into the world of breaststroke at my next meet...we shall see.
I can't understand why somebody would give a seed time that is well beyond what they are capable of swimming. Do they think that they will somehow rise to the occassion and take 10 seconds off of their best 100 time?
