I remember when my son began swimming with USS around 7 years ago, they had minimum requirements for him to be able to swim the length of the pool. They took it from there.
Are there any minimum requirements, time or distance wise, for adults to join a Masters team?
I'm in my early 40's and have some physical challenges. I dearly love the water and have wanted to be a swimmer all my life. I know the basics of the strokes and am wondering if I would be able to join a team.
TIA,

I believe that it depends on the team: one team i was interested in in London required that you had to swim 1500m (which isn't a lot); the team I'm currently on caters to all abilities (and I mean ALL :) )
Just contact the coach and ask. I'm sure that you'll be fine. don't do what I did and wait until you're 'good enough'... that could take forever!
