Hi all, I have just started swimming. I am 25. I am in very good shape but I need something more. I am finding my swimming lessons at the YMCA boring. I want to compete or find a club to train with. I am, by no means, a good swimmer. I am still figuring it all out. Does anyone have any advice? I don't think I am ready for Masters swimming but I want something more, something to really push me. Lastly, how do you know when you are ready for Masters swimming? What skills must you have? What is Masters swimming all about? Are there any good resources to contact groups to train with? Thanks, Kate:confused:

    Kate - Jump in and swim. Our YMCA Master's team shares pool time with the Y-Adult Swim Classes. While we are sweating through our 3500 yd workouts, they are learning the basics. We have a couple of people on our Masters team who went straight from the adult swimming lessons to the master's team. Master's swimming encompasses all levels and abilities. You will be welcomed. Michael
