Good morning! I have a question for any other US Masters swimmers. How long did you train before going back to compete again at meets? Did you jump right back into both or did you take a couple of years go get fully back into the swing of things? I have been out of the water for around 15 years, been back in for about a year but feel I am progressing slowly but surely. Thanks in advance!
yep, it is probably ideal to plunge back into swimming from the blocks. So long as you can finish the event, it doesn’t matter what condition you are in to enjoy the beauty of competition. Also good to have a pristine baseline to build upon. Don’t laugh about the being able to “finish” part above, I once nearly drowned trying to complete a 200lcm fr, the 1st 50 was a split request for time, I breathed like once.
That's why I did only 50s at my first meet :P
