Blackbeard, why don't you add this meet to the calendar of events?

**Blackbeard's Peg** · May 27th, 2008, 02:22 PM

Michael,
It has been submitted but the USMS Calendar is maintained and updated manually. It should be up there some time this week is my guess.

**The Fortress** · June 11th, 2008, 04:35 PM

Since hell hasn't frozen over, I will just say that I hate the order of events. Another zones meet that discriminates against fly-backers. Don't think I'll get in a LC 100 back this summer ... Was thinking of getting a split in the 200 back, but that's too close to the 100 fly. Argh.

**tjrpatt** · June 11th, 2008, 09:07 PM

The order of events aren't get. I do the 200IM and 400 Free and they are back to back at this meet. Plus, the 100 fly and 400 IM are back to back. But, on Saturday, I might have to do the dreadful 200 free and 400 IM and 800 Free.

Just hammer the front 100 to a touch and then warm down the back half. Think Paul Smith :-)

Hi all!
I'm new here but a competitive swimmer for years (since age 4) now living in MD!
My form is filled out for this meet and just debating whether or not I should swim it. It will be my first meet, if I swim in it, since like the 80's!!!
I'll be swimming UNAT since there are NOOOO teams at all in this area..STINKS so I'm self coaching..

I'm looking for some workouts to help me prep for this meet (Breaststroke).
Can someone PLEEEEASE help me find some workouts I can print out?
THANKS..
See you all at this meet..MAYBE

Is there an area where all the UNAT swimmers hang out? hehe.

**Blackbeard's Peg** · July 7th, 2008, 03:58 PM

Check out the Workouts section of the forums. There are plenty there.
Also, some teams have posted workouts on their websites.

Hope to see you at the meet!
