witsandbits asked: Hey my swim season just ended but before it did, my coach put me in the 100breast and 200IM for districts. I was okay with the 100breast because it was my main event and i have swam it in almost every meet. But i had only swam the 200Im once before. I'm worried that my coach is gonna start putting me in the 200IM for the rest of the next season. Any advice?

Take that as a compliment, your coach clearly thinks that you can do it. Coaches don’t just put you in the events you find easy either, they always try and see if you can widen your variety of strokes.

IM is one of the funnest things to race (in my opinion). Since you said you are good with the 100m breaststroke, I assume that means you’re good at breaststroke in general? So that would be your highlight in your IM. Just remember that you need to have alot of talent to swim the IM, which clearly your coach thinks you do :-)
