When to think about joining Masters Swimming

Hi! I'm new to swimming as far as proper stroke technique goes. Learned how to swim as a kid, though. I'm currently taking the Stroke Introduction (Stage 4) class at the local YMCA. Figured it would be good to start with the basics and build up with a solid foundation from there. There are still two other class levels after Stage 4. Should I wait until I've maxed out of all YMCA offered levels before looking at joining the local Masters program?

  • As a guy that "pushes" swimmers into fly -- we do LOTS of drills to help others learn this tough stroke. I you feel as if you are ready , try a few workouts with a local team. If you want to complete some more Y class , that is ok too. Don't shy away from the team, most welcome new swimmers of all abilities. Good luck and have fun.
