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 try and swim at least four, most times five per day in the smaller meets. I feel it helps to desensitize and is a good way to build that "try to go fast when you don't feel like it" mental portion of competing.
When Nat's rolls around and you back down to two whole events over an entire day, well heck, it's like a vacation practically.
