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 started Masters swimming my senior year of college. I had a boyfriend who rowed crew. When we hung out, he'd talk about crew and all I had to talk about was my major (chemical engineering - seriously BORING!) I had just quit my sorority, was a high school swimmer, and needed something else to do other than just engineering.
Within the first month of swimming, I'd broken up with the boyfriend (unrelated to swimming) and met my future husband (the coach!). :D We'll be married 7 years this June.
