I was just wondering what you guys do for pre-meet jitters. I'm going to my second Master's Meet April 10 & 11th in Lexington, KY. I'm swimming my first backstroke events at this meet. Since I never was an age grouper, high school, or college swimmer, I tend to get really nervous the closer to a meet that I get. It's getting so bad this time, that it's getting to the point that I'm not having fun anymore. I've also started to dread going to practice and just swimming in general. Do any of you have advice? Any help would be appreciated.
Good question as to what you are anxious about.Plan to have fun and meet people.From a performance stand point a little bit of butterflies in the stomach usually help.I'd recommend spending time visualizing the meet,not just your events.Visualize yourself having fun and being glad you came.Then go out and have fun.
