With the encouragement from this board and a desire to drop some pounds and become a better swimmer I think I will be going to my local Masters practice this Friday morning dark and early. I'm extremely nervous about this. They said they do about 3500 yards a workout. I have never been on a swim team. I have never been formally taught how to swim. I swam laps a year ago for 2 months and loved it but at best I could do a mile in an hour. I'm nervous b/c I don't want to waste these peoples time. Will they have time for me to build up my endurance and work on my stroke? Will a coach help with this? I was thinking that I needed to reach a certain level before joining but based on this board and a guy on the team I'll never reach that level and I should just do it. Are my reservations about going completely ridiculous? ARE THEY ALL GOING TO LAUGH AT ME???:)
I wake up around 4:45am, get dressed, brush my teeth and eat a banana and walk out the door. I usually arrive before 5:10 for our 5:15 practice. Afterwards, I rinse off in the shower and head home. I work from home so I shower when I get home.
