I think that 4 people from my team went to trials this year. No one got real far, and one of the swimmers hurt her back so she couldn't finish the meet. If I get the time for trials then when I look at the scoreboard I will scream and jump up and down in the water.

I'll flip out! man i'd have an heartattack. some of my friends have made it to nationals but not any farther.

 

[Tiggerlvr91]

I have some friend that have sn National times. Do you swim anything longer than 50s at meets.

 

[swimer3]

No... i want to start the 200 im but alot of our swimmers do that.

I like to do IMs, but I an average butterfly so I get behind there. I am getting better though. When we go to state our coaches pick our events. The team point race is really tight with the people from Vegas. We had one state 7 straight years, but about 2-3 years ago we lost. We are usualy in the led for the 1rst two days, but then we drop. Last year we got 3 but everyone swan really well. I qualified for a final or conselation in all 8 of my events. At the end of the meet when I had to swim the 200Im in conselation I was so tired and burred out that I started to cry. I think that was the only event that I didn't drop time in.

I got a lot of stupid events like the 200 free . For some reason they had to restart the race when everyone didn't go down. Anouther girl and I swan a 50 and I was think to myself were is everyone? Everyone then stopped me and we had to wait a little while, but it was a nice warm-up.

 

[swimer3]

next year ill start 100's

 

[Tiggerlvr91]

What is your 50 back time. I haven't swam it in about one year but my time was a 33.95 I think

 

[swimer3]

i dont remember. i usually swim it in the medly relay. im swimming in an big meet next saturday so ill post my times then. hopefully ill do good!

 

[Tiggerlvr91]

Good Luck!! I have a meet in the middle of Jan. I think I am going to swim the 1000 and I will be able to use the coutner I got my Christmas. I then have anouther meet in the first week of Feb. I think that I am only going to swim the 1650 on the first day, because State is 2 weekends afterwards. I also really need to swim the mile again.

 

[swimer3]

WOW thats alot to do in a meet! we dont even do those! the highest in a 500.

 

[Tiggerlvr91]

yeah I like to swim long distance at meets. We usually have 3 day meets and the first 1/2 day is distance or 400 IMs and then the other 2 days are full swimming. 13 or 11 and up is in the morning session and 10 and under is in the afterenoon session. I sometimes hate getting in for warm-ups, because we have to be there early.
