I was just wondering, how many of you typically enter the maximum number of events that you can? I always do. One of our new coaches wants us to try and focus more on our "stronger events" and skip the other events. I usually like to see how well I might do in a event I haven't done in awhile.
More often than not, I max out my entries. I figure I get to maybe 6 to 8 pool meets on a great year, I've blocked the time out of my schedule to be there, sometimes bought plane flights, etc., so I may as well get my money's worth. Sometimes I regret this when the events are too close together, but generally I don't. I will limit the events slightly if it's a taper meet, but still do 3 to 4 per session (except Nationals where the max event limit, IMHO, sucks).
