[quote=Anonymous]Former swimmer here. I would get very nervous before meets, even though I loved to race. I was a competitive swimmer from 6-17. This is what I tell my kid: You are only racing against your own time. You have swum this same race every time you go to practice (25 free, etc.). I used to get nervous, too, but I used that to help me go fast in the water. There are some things out of your control (other swimmers, water temperature). Let those thoughts go and just feel calm inside. You got this. That being said, I wanted to race but had the nervous fluttery feeling before every race, meet. If she really hates meets, etc., then don’t push her.[/quote]
