Hi out there to all, my name is Stephanie, and I'm having some trouble, I was hoping y'all could help me. I've been trying to get back into the swimming world after four years of dealing with a serious knee injury that left me out of the State Champs my junior year of high school and beyond. I'm interested in hard-core training and competing, to hopefully finish a career I'd started in high school. The problem I have is that I'm moving to Pittsburgh in a couple months, and until then, there's nothing around this small Ohio town to get me started. I'm not under 18, and I'm not in high school anymore, so there's really nothing group-wise for me. I would really appreciate any help, advice, workouts, dryland, coaches in Pittsburgh/groups, weights, anything like that. I was primarily a backstroker, shortcourse 100 and 200, and relays. Thanks!

If the downtown Y has a master team it does not swim in AMYMSa meets, unless they swim for the South Hills team. I have been swimming for AMYMSA five years now and don't recall ever seeing the downtown Pittsburgh Y ever swim in a meet. Any local Y can easily join AMYMSA if that Y is willing to do it. It really doesn't take much and you can swim for your Y even if you are the only one on your team.
Stephanie- I sent you a private message concerning options you might have for swimming in masters. Did you receive it?
