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:

Was the 1st meet by any chance today? I am in houston and just did a meet over in Rice, or are you talking about Zones in a few weekends, if you have a place that will let you dive in I would be happy to help with the diving thing..I also suffer from MAJOR nerves too and have been swimming for the better part of 16yrs. I think that havng a little nervous energy is a good thing. Don't worry about the nerves and I am glad that you have entered the realm of meets GOOD for YOU!:D
