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 swam at DePauw University (div III) for two years and then quit competitive swimming in 1962. Once I became aware of USMS in about 1990 I started competing again. In the interim, I trained on my own in convenient recreation center pools - always constant speed swimming and NEVER any intervals.
