Practice vs. Competition

Hey there- Was just wondering if any of you felt like this... At practice: I feel strong, my strokes feel perfect - everything is great. When at meets: The second I dive in (this is primarily on backstroke, my best stroke) - and I feel like I'm out of control, I feel like I slip on every pull - not going anywhere but my arms are going fast. What is going on? Do I need to lift weights or what? Thanks - Sarah

    I definately vote for "to few competitions" choice. When I was young we had a meet every weekend...the feel of swimming really fast was always there. As a master I am happy to compete more than once every second month...no wonder it feels strange competing....every time. /Per
