Well, I did it!!!!
This passed Sunday I had my first ever swim meet!!!!
I had wonderful time at the meet, got to dive 3 times off the blocks :applaud: during practice, not so scary after I did it a couple of times! One of the coaches from some club helped me a little. That was very nice of him!
Of course when the time came to the real thing I forgot to push off with my legs and it felt more like falling in... And then I forgot what I was supposed to do after the actual :rofl: in a hurry remembered to do a pull. After that I was fine, except still was too slow on turns....
Anyway, my time for 100 *** was 1:39.51. I think it's not so bad for the first time.
For some reason my swim felt too slow, as if I was a recreational kind of swimmer not a racer....is what is called adrenalin? I am pretty sure I was going hard for today all my muscles are in pain especially my abdominals....don't know.
I LOVED the UofH pool! Oh my it was absolutely beautiful!!!!!! Well, enough bubbling!
Also, can someone please tell me what the numbers (I marked them in red) are?
#33 Women 30-34 100 *** 1:38.00 1:39.51 (6) 3
47.01 1:39.51 (52.50)
Thanks all for all your help!

coolbeans!
i agree. just getting out there and doing it is the biggest accomplishment. think about all the people who don't even bother, or just wish they were.
of course it is a lot of fun to start collecting some times as well, so you can have something to compare to as you visit and participate in more meets in the future.
