Yes. So far, only sprints (50 and 100 BR and FR). I also do triathlons though, so I should probably include distance events when I swim meets. This year was my first year doing meets, and I was struck by how fast the races are. It's almost not worth all the trouble, just for such a short race. I'm guessing that this attitude indicates I am not a true sprinter, and should focus more on distance. Pool distance hurts though... unlike triathlon swims which are more an exercise in navigation and tactics.
