if your group trains after the Aggie water polo team, watch out for horses & their by products. Just show up for practice and train. Find your lane. Beginners tend to over estimate their abilities when they begin. Play nice, if you're sharing a lane, Learn about lane etiquette. + stay on the right side, don't get in the way, if you can't make the intervals move to a slower lane, if you skip a 50 rest on the side out of the pool, when leaving every 5 seconds in a lane wait till you see the 4 before you push off. DOn't push off on the 2 or the 3. Swim the set at the right pace If you're leading the lane, pay attention and do the correct # of lengths and leave on the right intervals Make friends ASK for Help Know why you're swimming and or what your goals are. Have fun Keep showing up, become a regular. Consider entering a meet.

If you can endure a year of O-Chem, then masters workout should be fine

Our Master's swim group accomodates all levels. If you can do 1200m, you'd be fine in our masters group. They usually would do 2000 for the main group (novice-ish) levels, and more for the faster swimmers, but our coach is flexible. I'm a novice and started swimming less than 2 years ago. Whether you are a learner, coming off injury or whatever...as long as youtry your best and don't complain, i'm sure it's all good. If you want, show up for a practice one day and just observe and talk to the coach. some days have a mellower group than others, and that's the days that I choose. good luck! :)
