My name is Quenby and I am brand new to usms. I train on my own and live in a rural area in Oklahoma. I would love to compete again (swam all through high school) but of course college, marriage and kiddos happened. I know I am not incredibly fast but I am driven and dedicated. Any suggestions at all would be much appreciated.
Don't be overwhelmed by the expectation of competition. In USMS, it is only as intense as you want to make it for yourself. Most people balance their desire to go faster by socializing with other competitors. Are there local meets near you? If so, try one. You will find plenty of supportive people and probably some in your same situation. Welcome!
