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.

It usually depends on the format of the meet. I typically try to focus on a specific events throughout the year, therefore I try my best to enter my "focus" events in every meet. However if there is not sufficient rest in between events, then I choose only my favorites or those events that give me adequate time to rest.
Newbie question (and something I have been wondering since deciding I might try a meet this year)-- how do you determine whether there is enough time between events? Obviously, I know you would not want to swim events that are scheduled back-to-back, but what about events that have one, two, or three events in between? How do you decide if that is "enough time" to recover for the next event or not?
