With limited opportunities to swim USMS meets in the next 6 months (due to coaching commitments and no travel budget), should I take opportunities to swim in USA-S meets, even if it means several meets in a row. But in these meets, I would only swim at most one or two events due to a limited amount of time.
Example is next month, on the 17th, I can swim the 200 Free on Saturday morning session. I _think_ it would be a good idea to swim it to gain additional race experience. And also as a baseline for swimming it in just a jammer again. The next weekend, I have a one day USMS sprint meet where I am swimming all 4 50s and the 100 IM. November is looking very slim for meets, USMS or USA-S and December is completely out.
My training schedule would not be greatly affected if I did swim, as Saturday is an off day for me.
Anyone (other than QBrain) have any thoughts on this?

I've been thinking about swimming USAS meets. we only have 3-4 local meets a year for masters. Since I'm already at the USA meets as a coach, It would not be any bigger time commitment. But with so few masters meets, I don't get to really race too many events.
