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 do think it's a good idea to have one practice every week or two where you pretend you're in a meet and you swim your best event fairly fresh for time.

My Rookie method is:
Warm up and do one event race per training session close to the meet. Then continue with a scheduled workout.
