hi
I'm a college student who swam competitively from age 5-18. Then I came to college and stopped. I couldn't make our school team. So now I swim for fun.
But my problem is that I feel like I'm going no where. I've always been "training" with a specific goal in mind...a time, an event, championships, states, nationals....I was always working towards an end, and always with a long term workout schedule.
Now I go to the pool like 4-5days/week and swim about 3000yds, give or take about 300. But I think I've plateau'd. Can anyone help me get a jump back into this? I miss intense workouts. Do you know where I can find a long-term workout plan? Mine have stagnated, and I don't know where to go from here....
Maybe this post seems kinda rambling, but I'm a little unsure of what I'm actually looking for. I just miss the intensity and goal oriented approach of competitive and team swimming.
Any advice?

I think you've come to the right place :) . A masters club sounds exactly like what you're looking for. As Eliana said, you'll get the workouts, training plans and coaching you're looking for, plus support from a group, without the pressure of having to "make the team." And you can compete as much (or as little) as you want. Many colleges have masters clubs on campus -- or there may be one nearby.
