Hi everyone I am new to this site. I was an avid swimmer when I was younger and kicked butt. I am just getting back into swimming and actually signed up for a swim meet next Sunday. I think I will totally embarrass myself.
I was wondering if anyone knew how these swim meets are? Are they all different levels or is everyone really good? I am out of my mind but I signed up for the 500 free, 100IM, 100Back, and 50free. I am in the 26 year old category.
Does anyone know any typical times for the 500??
I can;t wait to get back in shape and do well again.
Please if anyone has any advice or some knowledge that they would like to share please inform me.

first meet back and starting with a 500, impressive.
just remember to race yourself and you'll do fine.
I remember my first 200m free after a 12 yr break from swimming. I was the lead off, in a 4x200 relay, and I had no idea the speed of the guys next to me. I opened in 1:03 and then came back in 1:11 for 2:14...
Oops!!!
I open my 400 fri in 2:15 so I obviously did something wrong and it was that I swam the other guys race.
I should have held back the first 50 and swam my own race.
Good Luck
