All preparation, hard work and time spent in
training comes to this, the
moment
of truth,
when you are up on the block. You know that you are prepared, ready to race
and that the clock does not lie. Swim meets are an
exciting challenge
and a culture in and of themselves. Good swimmers love to compete and prove
their skill and strength, winning opponents, heats, events and their own
personal best times, earning
bragging rights
and qualifying to compete at higher levels.
