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:

Gerdrick and Ensignada, I look forward to hearing about your first meet!! I have yet to do one, and for this moment am not planning any -- none around that I know of --- but I want to hear every detail from you two. It will be my lesson number one!
Cheers to you for doing it, and have fun!!!!!!
Thanks, Nancy, but I just made my decision and won't be trying it until I've trained for it. I think I'll take Rich's advice and pick an event and work at it. I'm ready to work toward something new.
