A little back ground first...after 19 years and 4 babies (one 8 weeks ago!!) I have completed my 18th workout and am up to 2500yds a clip..some straight swimming..some intervels. I however, have a lot of weight to lose, in the vacinity of 80 pounds. I feel better than I have in years and am encouraged by my children who all want to beat me! I do want to go to a meet but have two questions....first..how many REALLY over weight swimmers do you see at meets and how long should I wait to go to a meet? I know there is one in ST. Pete Fl in April and was aiming for that...does it seem too far away??

I am a part of the overweight crowd. It just shows that there are all kinds of people at all levels who swim in masters. Don't worry about what you look like just go in and do your very best and be proud in what you are doing. Beleive me, I am not about to win any bathing suit contest anytime soon.
