I had a swim meet this week and I realized something while I was there.... a LOT of people get nervous at their swim meets so my coach told me something that helped relax me. She told me that it doesn't matter what everybody else is doing in the pool it only matters what your doing. She also said that it doesn't matter because UNLIKE the olympics in swim meets you're just competing against yourself. Everytime you swim you are just trying to get a better time than before... So if you're ever nervous at a swim meet just think that you're in the pool alone being timed, just think about getting a better time! - it might seem weird but this did actually help me calm down a lot!!
