I'm new to competitive swimming and have only been on a masters team for 16 months. Since I'm old and never swam in meets before I've been averaging 2 per month "in season". I had to get meet experience with starts, turns, pacing, etc. Still just a novice. In 2010 I did 14 meets (11 in ILL, 3 in WI). I didn't really taper much except for the state meets and the Senior Olympics. I plan to swim 2/month from Jan-May with the National Senior Games in Houston in June. I'll taper on the drive down & hope to finish in the top ten in all my 6 events there.
