24hr. countdown before 1st Masters meet-???

My first Masters meet is coming up on March 27&28 and I don't have a clue about: 1. Should I swim the day before or just rest? 2. What (and when) should I eat before my first race? 3. What (and when) should I swim to warm-up before my first race (200 breaststroke)? 4. What about cooldown then warming up again before my next race (medley relay)? 5. Any other recommendations, besides stretching and HAVING FUN? :D THANKS!

  • Sorry I missed this 1. Should I swim the day before or just rest? doesn't matter, I prefer to dive in splash around and "keep the feel" 2. What (and when) should I eat before my first race? doesn't really matter just don't pig out before your races 3. What (and when) should I swim to warm-up before my first race (200 breaststroke)? eddie reese always had us do 500 fr 400 IM drill 300 pull 200 kick 100 done 4 x 25 build then a few: fast 25's for sprinters pace 50's for 200 swimmers & pace 100'sfor 500 & up Get warm but not worn out if you've been sitting around for more than an hour, get back in and swim an easy 200 to 400 15 to 20 minutes before your race. 4. What about cooldown then warming up again before my next race (medley relay)? cool down: swim an easy 200 to 400 depends how long you sit around before the medley 5. Any other recommendations, besides stretching and HAVING FUN? Swim faster faster
