Choosing events for a meet

Hi, Where I live, the pool has been opened since late May. And there will be a masters meet mid-September. It was almost one year ago when I asked for suggestion in this forum and got good results in my first meet in 36 years. I think I probably join the coming meet, considering that it is the only one held this year around here. What would you prefer, between 200 free + 50 free and 50 fly + 50 free ? I enjoy both fly and free. My issue is only about preparation. These options seem to fit different training schemes. Thanks. b

  • Personally, I'd prefer 200 fly +500 free.+1 Can you sign up for all 3 and make a race day decision on what you decide to swim?+1 And I'm interested to understand what the difference is between your training for different events.Unless you're deeply serious about training for a specific race at a specific future event, I don't think your training would be modified whether you're training for the 200 free (which requires mostly speed and a bit o'endurance) and the 50s. If you just always train for the 200IM or 400IM, you can race any event, any time, any distance, any stroke.
