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?

  • USRPT works for longer distances to, as shown by Glenn Gruber's master's world records in the 400 free. Yes, I've been following his progress and posts a bit. Definitely moved USRPT up into the middle distances - guess 8x50=400 and 10x50=500 works in math and in usrpt.
