Hi All. Just started back swimming again, after about 10 years off...during that time was running and rowing. Now after injuries and set backs, have found the water to be releaving, theraputic, and an awesome challenge. Since I'm about 13 pounds overweight, am wondering if there are meets in the winter season, giving me this time to get into swim shape, and loose the extra pounds. Although I've looked on the sites, there is no info past listed for Winter. Is there even a Winter race season?
Thanks! (and it's great to be back!).

Depends on where you're located. There are at least two active fall/winter/spring groups (Y-masters and US Masters). Both recently wrapped up their winter seasons with their championships.
USMasters does have some summer meets. You might check with your local Y or even your local college team to see if they have any masters clinics or training over the summer.
Where I live--there is a year-round masters level team at the University of Pittsburgh. There has also been some outdoor masters groups in both the eastern part of pgh and in the southern part.
don't worry about losing the weight before participating--many of us aren't as thin as we'd like to be! We're all adults so what's a few pounds among friends?:p
