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?!

    This was the first year I focused on just a few events for my "dual meets" but at YMCA Nationals I swam 7 events and at our state meet I swam 7 events + 4 relays. Even though I swam so many events I had at least 1 lifetime best and 2 mastsers bests each weekend. And, all 7 of my times were faster the second weekend of competition. Congrats are in order here! That is super tough to do!! You give some of us out there hope. :bow:
