Anyone have experience swimming in meets on consecutive weekends? I've never done this myself, but am contemplating doing meets April 24-25 (Zones, SCY) and May 3 (SCM). Was planning to rest a week or so for Zones and then just keep resting. My main worry is that I'm usually pretty zonked for a few days after a two day meet. Is this a bad idea? Any advice?
My main motivation to go to the second meet is that I'm not sure I'll get another SCM meet in this year. There are no local meets, and right now I have family conflicts with travel meets.

Paul the only big layoff was after the season was over and then there were a few years that the season on the circuit went into November. The only down time would be the trip to the races on the other continents. Fly to Europe, then fly to Egypt or South America. It usually took a day or two to get where you were going.
Even as an amateur we raced in Ontario, Tues little duel meets mid week races then Meets on the weekends. No taper Just race. Our club used to swim dual meets with several Universitys and of course all of our club swimmers also practiced waterpolo 2 or three times a week and then The waterpolo games playing waterpolo every week. We spent our lives in the pool.
