Mature newbie

Hello everyone,

I am new to this space and hoping this is a community for me.  A year before shutdown I became serious about swimming and decided to learn the four competitive strokes in my mid 50s. I can perform all 4! I had an excellent instructor.  My favorite stroke is butterfly with breaststroke not far behind.  After searching, I found a Masters swim team for folks like me at my local YWCA.  I hope to qualify with that club after the new year.

Hope to meet you on this thread.

    Welcome, I'm almost 50, took it up in my early/mid 40's, and like you, I prefer Butterfly.  Unlike you, however, I can't stand Breast.  Keep at it, glad you found a good team.  I've swum with a couple, but am mostly a solo swimmer. Thank heavens for Gary Hall's videos!
