Do we have to swim in a lot of meets to go fast? Of people that compete, it seems like there is a wide variance among forum members on meet attendance. Some go to many meets and some go to only a few a year. It seems like some people only attend the big meets or nationals. It obviously helps to get experience at meets, but how many do you need to compete in ideally to (1) swim fast and improve, and/or (2) do well at major competitions such as zones or nationals?
I'm probably atypical because I don't like SCY so I'll typically swim 1 maybe 2SCY meets per year. I'll swim 1-3 LCM meets depending on how many there are close plus LCM Nationals. I'll swim 2 SCM meets because thats usually all I can find close.
