Was thinking about doing a triathlon next year since my running and cycling are a bit above par but found out recently that I can't swim more than 25m without completely floundering and gasping for air. Seems I have absolutely no idea of how to swim properly, now have serious doubts about a tri, and think I should find a coach. Question is, should I join USMS in the hope of getting linked up with an understanding/supportive group who will help/coach me or should I find an independent coach first? As a follow up, if I should find a independent coach, anyone know of one in the Saint Clair Shore / Grosse Pointe area of Michigan? I searched everywhere online and come up empty. Many thanks.

Shouldn't be hard to find a masters program in your area. I grew up in Northville and there are many USS teams around(there were 5 within a 15 minute drive of my house). So I would assume there are several masters teams as well. I'd call around to the various teams and talk with the coaches. Tell them want your goals are. Should be able to find a team that is the right match for you.
