Swimming at USS meets

gobears
Hi-- Anyone else (who's not in their 20's) ever swim USS meets? I entered one this weekend and am now nervous that I will (at 41) stick out like a sore thumb. My times should be somewhere in the middle of the pack but I'm wondering how dorky I will feel walking up to the blocks. Just curious to hear about anyone else's USS swimming experiences... Thanks!

    Good Luck at your meet Amy... I swim in USA-S meets this summer. It was alot of fun. All the kids I swam against were very supportive. Some even cheered for me when they were not swimming. One meet I went to was a prelims/finals and to my surprise I made finals in all my events and was even able to move up 1-2 places and drop time. I thought for sure I was going to pass out having to swim the 200 IM and twice in one day. As of last week I started swimming with the age group kids again. Swimming with the kids is alot of fun and a great way to end a long day of work. I would love to swim some meets with them this winter. I have even made bets with a couple of the middle school girls. I owe one a blizzard and with the other it is to see who will break a minute in the 100 free 1st. You will do well and may even surprise yourself. Just remember to have fun and don't worry about age....IT is just a number.
