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.
Your question was, “what should I expect from Masters Swimming?”
As someone who has been involved with Masters for many years and someone involved at the local and national levels of USMS to in trying to figure out the evolving answer to your question, I can tell you there is no simple answer.
What you should expect are opportunities. How’s that for vague?
You should expect to be availed with the opportunity to exercise, train and, if you wish, compete with a group of people who share the bond of swimming. You should expect to be given the opportunity to make a lifelong commitment to personal improvement fitness and health. You should expect the opportunity to meet and become friends with a truly amazing group of people. You should expect to be given the opportunity to get involved as a volunteer at the local and national level to make Masters Swimming even better for others.
