You may feel sort of silly. You'll be in the slowest heat, along with some true beginners and/or some people 4x your age. In the 100, you could lap someone. Given what you have posted about your practice times, I would recommend that you see whether or not the meet director can change your NTs to some seed times based on those practice times. If they can seed you properly, you and the people in that slowest heat will all have more fun and swim better.
Well, I've only been swimming for 5 weeks, and when I registered, it was only 3 weeks, so I hadn't even swum a full 50 ***. It was just the stroke I was most comfortable with, and I really wanted to go to the meet. But, that's a good idea. I think I will try and get in contact with the meet director.
