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?

My Rookie method is:
Warm up and do one event race per training session close to the meet. Then continue with a scheduled workout.
Not a rookie method at all. It's a great way to taper and get the feel for racing.
A warm-up...followed by a timed swim...and then a slightly reduced intensity practice is a very good formula.
