For the first 5 years of our program our team was very competitive. I really think this was due to the fact that most of us were competitive swimmers in high school and college. Realizing that we needed to enhance our program by getting the more recreational/fitness swimmer involved, we have now become a team of "tile counters" that rarely if ever test themselves at our masters swim meets or postal events. I realize that every doesn't need to compete, nor do I want to force anyone to compete. I'm just looking for some creative ideas or examples of how any of you were able to get people to participate in masters competitions. I would appreciate any help...

Don't worry that seems alright progress in a short time. You might do 1:30 in freestyle next year in 100 meters. I did a 1:34 in the first 100 meter and a 1:40 in the second 100 meter. In breaststroke last year I did 1:53.10 and 1:43.31 in long course this year. Started training again for about a year after 25 years off on a regular basis. Good Luck Connie. There's a lot of swimmers like you.
