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??

Thank you for the kind words...I was afraid that everyone was going to be very fit at the meets. Maybe I can surprise them by being big and still being able to swim? I will see if there is anything between now and then...all I seemed to find was short course meters...I may have to try that instead of waiting for the short course yards....This forum is great and I look forward to all of the great information that ya'll share. Thank you again!
