I was just curious. I noticed that quite a few posts are from people in the UK, Canada (which is outside the US, technically ;) ), or high school swimmers.
Are people posting here because discussion boards are not available elsewhere? (I haven't looked.) Or is the information quality higher here?

Join, and join NOW!
I contemplated for couple years before joining, and the only thing I regret now, is tahat I haven't joined 2 years ago, when I first thought of it.
You don't need to do 4000 to join.
Our team has varied workouts, starting with 1500... up to some people doing double 3000 y workouts.
There is a huge difference between swimming alone, and swimming on a masters team. Swimming with a team is at least 10 time better and more fun, and in my case, I progress much much faster on a team then alone.
Don't be intimidated by the few on the team that are at the top level. You'll find that there are a lot more people close to your level then there are at the top.
