Hi everyone! I am planning to go to my very first (all of my life, I was never a swimmer) meet this month...and am freaking out already!!!!! Maybe I should back out before it's too late? See, I am not all that fast and have never performed a start dive from a block.:shakeshead: Our Master's coach is not all that great, he is a nice man just as a coach I don't think I benefit all that much. To my question of how to make my breaststroke faster his response was "Drink more coffee"!!!:frustrated: I did get a private coach to help me but not sure if that's enough..... What should I do? Are all the odds against me? I was looking forward to this meet when it was 2-3 months away, but now......The meet is in 3 weeks..... Help!!!!!:notworthy:

    Thank you all so VERY much for all your support and help! I feel a bit better! I have contacted one of the meet officials and he said that I even could come out on Friday before the meet (when long distance swim is going on) and practice my dives, so I think I'll do that! Also, one of the coaches from Rice University agreed to a private lesson on dives BUT I am not sure I can afford $80.00 an hour...:rolleyes: Thanks for the idea about HS pools! I'll keep you all posted of what's going on with my first ever meet and preparations to it! Thanks again! "Remember this: As a breaststroker you already have a leg up on the other stroke swimmers because only the gifted can do ***. Ask anyone" - Thanks.... Catherine P.S. Is anyone participating in the same meet? March 23-35 in Houston, TX?
