Did you go straight into Masters Swimming or did you take time off.

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.

My in-laws went through the roof with my wife because I was from - gasp - New Jersey. They get over it, although it takes years from their lives. -LBJ
