2 Events vs. 4 and 5 Events @ Meets?

Okay. Do you like to swim 1 or 2 events per day @ super fast speed at meets (great times)? Or, do you prefer to swim the max of 4 and 5 events per day (and I mean not just the sprints)? There are pros and cons to both. It's so choice/ cool to swim all strokes and distances but at the expense of really fast times. But it's so annoying to get out touched by a competitor who swam 6 laps that day as compared to your 34! Yeah, depends on your goals. But what do you like to do?!

    If it's a taper meet I swim the 3 breaststrokes. If there are events I want to swim after the last breaststroke event I'll swim them. At a non-taper meet I'll usually swim the maximum,for fun and the workout. Allen, For me the breaststrokes are nothing for me to make fun of! Here's how I feel after each breaststroke event: 50 - DEAD 100 - Crying 200 - Run over by a steamroller assuming I finished You've given me a great idea though which is to try all fly events only for a meet. Thanks!
