Googles up on the forehead ok... around your neck... goofy or Chad Le Clos ... Wear jammers or square legs. Get some goggles that fit. Lower profile ones are better, no masks. Be coachable...

Working out with a masters group can be fun…physically and socially. Not to be a naysayer, but it might…MIGHT…be more than what you’re ready for right now. Most masters groups accept all levels of swimmers, and they’ll provide a structured workout for the various levels/abilities. But if you’re just swimming for fitness, a structured workout might be more than what you want…at least at this early stage. You might want to get a good swimming base before you join a masters group. But, if you think you’re ready…by all means go for it. Dan

Going to a coached practice is likely the best way to begin so you are on the right track. A suit is the bare minimum to wear without looking like a goof.

I would suggest just joining a masters team, most work with swimmers from all levels, and you'll get a coach to ensure you develop skills properly
