Hi, Sonic here with a very important question: I just recently joined the Border LMSC and I am waiting for my membership card and anything else that comes with it. My question is, what should I expect from Masters Swimming? I am very fond of swimming and have been swimming laps regularly at my local Aquatic Center.
I know that Masters Swimming is open to swimmers of all levels and who know how to swim. I have never competed in any swim meets, but I have dreams of competing in meets soon. And since I've come to the right place, I thought my question sounds appropriate.
Your replies are most appreciated.

. . . My question is, what should I expect from Masters Swimming? . . .
OK, you asked a serious question. Being new to Masters Swimming, here's something you can expect: Your team might have some very fast swimmers. Please don't let this discourage you. Don't compare, challenge. Don't compare your speed to theirs, or your times to theirs, but challenge yourself to become stronger and faster. In some lane of some pool, there's a swimmer trying to become as fast as you.
Another thing to expect is a little sarcasm and facetious banter. Sorry, no disrespect intended. But what do you expect from a bunch of people who spend a good portion of their spare time with their heads submerged?
