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:

Well, I let others more in the know answer those questions Gerdrick, but wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying as well as learning from your post.
It has been ----- decades ------- since I have dived from anything let alone the "blocks". I've never been afraid of diving, but the "blocks" thing has me wondering! :dunno: I think the only opportunity I would even have to try this will be finding a master's team to swim with, which I have not found yet. Then again, the suggestion to try out the local high school pool might be an option. I'll have to keep that in mind.
Keep on asking those questions, and keep us updated on all that you do!!!:wiggle:
