I started swimming Masters as soon as I could at 25(this was before 19 and then 18 year olds could swim Masters-I'm 57 now.)
I gather this is not what most people do. Swimming was the only thing that allowed me to retain a veneer of sanity in college and med school so I was ecstatic at being with an organized group of swimmers at the first opportunity.
I took a break for 20 years. Started again when I turned forty, after my kids were old enough and I could spend the time to swim. I tried to come back to swimming when I was about 30 years old but my heart was not in it. This time around I am enjoying every aspect of the swimming and masters comunities.
