I just looked at my results from 2008 and I was surprised by the number of events I swam. Not races, but individual events.
I swam 19 individual events + relays in a pool and 3 open water races during 2008. Some events I swam only once during the year (800m free + OW races) but others I swam 5-6 times.
how many different events do you compete in?
mine were
SCM
800/400/200/100/50 free
400/200/100 IM
200/100/50 ***
200/100/50 back
100/50 fly
LCM
200/100/50 ***
plus I swam in 4x50/100/200 free and 4x50/100 medley relays.
Even if I remove the LCM it's still 16 events that I swam in 2008 and this year it might be more since I plan on swimming the 1500m and if the opportunity comes my way I might chance the 200fly. Plus I plan on swimming more LCM events this summer
A lot of US swimmers will be over ten events since we have three courses: SCY, SCM and LCM. Since last July, I've had 7 LCM, 12 SCM and 10 SCY events with more SCY events to come before the season ends.
I didn't separate it by courses(If I had I'd have 9 just for BR.) Last year it was the 3BRs,the 3 Flys,50 free,100&400 IM.
