Length of training before competing

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!

  • As mentioned above, Masters meets are a ton of fun! And I also use meets as a way to gauge how my training is going. Pick some shorter events at a mini meet then see how you do. A lot of these meets are over in just a couple of hours so it really is like a practice. If you are like me you will make some great connections that you will be able to keep up at meets for the coming years.
