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.
Welcome Quenby!! :)
I don't have a whole lot to add because most everyone else covered it, but I wanted to say welcome!
Also, the first (and only so far) masters swim meet I went to was in Oklahoma at the Rose State meet and having only swum one year in high school I didn't have much expereince (or speed) under my belt, but everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming at the meet. It was a blast!
Cheers and good luck!

PS.. I'd like to reiterate what Ande said, that making a schedule for yourself is KEY.. especially if you're working out on your own like many of us. Also the workout threads are a great help and a great place to start finding some focus.
