I don't really get that nervous because I know I am better than everyone out there Tongue
Also if you eat a banana, it will give you potassium which gives you more energy. I always eat a Banana before games

RE: Do you get nervous?
Nervousness can plague many swimmers at any age and any event. The main thing to keep in mind is to stay calm and relaxed. There are some great tips at http://allabout-swimming.com/mentalmindest.aspx such as deep-breathing, goal-setting, and even establishing routines for yourself to get those butterflies (pun intended) out of your stomach.

Most importantly, remember to have fun!
