Can someone please tell me what sandbagging is? I heard some people discussing it at my last meet, but didn't know exactly what they were talking about. It didn't sound very flattering though by the tone of their voices. Thanks in advance. :banana:

I, believe even if you did not swim at a meet , you should have some idea what you do in pratice. And use that as a guide line when entering times for a meet. Dom A in AZ. :dunno: :wiggle:
Not that you pointed that at me Dom but since I mentioned it before. I'll clarify my times have a basis on something.
My guidance for my times is as follows:
25 Fly at around 18-20 seconds so I put 40 for a 50Y
My IM practices at around 1:25-1:30 turns and mistiming them add variance.
The Free I have no clue because I don't swim it for meets. Well I can do a 50 in 33 seconds so using 3:00 for 200FR is not too far out because I can no way do 200 at my 50 pace.
By the time the 3:00 Free rolls around, I'm sure those swimming it will probably not be worried. It's not like I'm going to place!
