Well, first of all I would like to latt you all know that I have only ONE day 'till I swim in a meet (I swim on Sunday)!!! I have so many emotions going through me that I don't think I can describe it all! :) Anyway, my question is, when I sent my application in for my seed time I put 1:38, that was my ok time, BUT now I can't go faster than 1:42-1:43, but am in a group of times 1:35-1:38.40 in the meet.....is that a big deal? Do I need to let them know that I am slower now?:rolleyes: Any ideas? :help: Thanks!

    Don't worry, at worst you'll be 5 seconds slower than the others, or you may surprise yourself and win your heat. That's really not a big deal in a race of that length. I've had plenty of races where my seed time was way off from my actual time - usually my seed time has been too slow, but sometimes, it's been way too fast. Swim your best, and don't worry about the other swimmers.
