Help! I'm going to my first practice ever for a master's swim team on Sunday morning. I've been swimming on my own since March and have worked up to 50 minute sessions-a little over a mile-3 days a week. I've never been coached or trained before, so the whole thing has me pretty intimidated. I've been reading the forum and from what I see, you all seem to recommend team training to improve. I'm over 40, still about 10 pounds heavier than I'd like to be but not in horrible shape. I'm a little nervous that I won't be able to keep up or that people will resent a slow untrained swimmer messing up their practice.
Any advice?
Thanks!!

bad topic? The woman that I share the lane with in the morning does them, but I haven't figured them out yet. The only time I tried I ended up just doing a somersault! Then it took me a few minutes to stop laughing at myself before I could swim again.
Honestly, I just want to learn to do more than 2000 meters of freestyle and get in better shape. I don't have any great ambitions to be in races or anything like that.
