I'm thinking of starting up on the Masters swim team here in Las Vegas, and I need some information/inspiration to get started.
I have a goal of losing 30 pounds by the end of the year. Last year I lost 30 pounds and I have kept it off. I just need 30 more and I will have reached my ideal weight of 130 pounds.
That is not my only reason for joining Masters swimming. My other reason is that I miss competing so much. I was on a swim team from the age of 7 to 18, and now I am 28 years old, and I find myself thinking about swimming all the time, and visualizing the races/meets/competition, etc.
My problem is this: Whenever I start swimming without being on a team, I usually get bored and I stop swimming, and I pick up some other type of exercise like aerobics, running, etc.
The last time I was on a swim team was 1993.
So my question is this: Is it easier to stay motivated if I swim on a team?
Thanks for any input.
Take care,

just join! i used to get bored very easily with training on my own- i certainly don't think that i'll get bored with swimming with a team- my coach is more than happy to make sure that i'mworking my butt off! it is good to have a challenge and the people are pretty cool too!
good luck!
