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:

  • Remember this: As a breaststroker you already have a leg up on the other stroke swimmers because only the gifted can do ***. Ask anyone ;) Gerdrick - listen to SwimStud, he's right and I know!!! You will do fine. My mistake was not ducking my head on entry and swimming with my goggles on my nose. So remember to duck! The good thing is that it only happens once and I am probably the only one who remembers it even happened.
