This has probably been covered before, and I know what the "organization" would say, but I want the truth from those of you that are serious members. If I showed up, a 29 year-old mom of three who is about 30 lbs overweight but was once a good swimmer and has continued lap swimming all these years since high-school and would take her committment seriously, to your practice and wanted to join, how would you feel? What if you had to pass me by a few times because I slowed you down? But...at the same time you saw me working hard in my ability and pushing myself farther and fasther each day - would you snicker behind my back, would others? Should I continue swimming on my own and trying to get in shape before I join?
It is ok to be honest. I would tell you the truth. And please, don't yell at me for worrying about what others think.
Thanks everyone!

By all means join a masters club if you are fortunate enough to have an active club in your area. Masters swimmers come in all shapes and sizes and with all different levels of ability. I think what I enjoy most about being a part of a masters team are the friendships that are made.
Have fun!
