Pre-Meet Jitters/Anxiety

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. Deep breaths, music you like, and a lot of positive visualization as part of training. At a meet, it also helps to have someone to BS with so you're not just sitting around thinking about the things you're anxious about. (These are things a baseball coach taught me a long time ago.)
