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?!

Sometimes I like to go for High Point and will swim the "garbage" events such as 200 fly, 400 IM and 1650 free which I did for the first time in Colorado. Much easier to swim these events in Georgia! If the pool is very fast, then I limit myself to 3 events. I like my distance events to be at the beginning of a meet. At my next meet I will limit my events since I will be trying to get some times in my new age group, swimming the long stuff, and preparing for LC Nationals.
S(He)man, I will be in Atlanta May 6-13. Hope I can swim with you either at Dynamo or SwimAtlanta (Lawrenceville).
Hey Winnie! We all miss you down here! I am so used to seeing you every meet.
I too like to go for high point, but dang, you gotta swim the full 10 events to usually earn it (I have in the past at least). How much harder is it in CO - can you give me an idea? Makes sense due to the altitude. Do you just feel the piano drop suddenly? Or is it hard from the first lap?
I hope to be allowed to swim beginning the second week in May - so hope to see you there. I'll hopefully be at SwimAtlanta trying to get back into shape after the week off from my surgery.
