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.
Grew up in CA in the early 60's, swam in an old AAU swim club from 10 until 13. Transplanted from CA to North Carolina in '79 (HUGE culture shock...but achieved a rather nice accent for awhile)....then to DC area....next to Michigan (MEE-shi-gin)... started swimming in Ann Arbor with masters at 50. I LOVE it....it keeps me sane...although some people might argue that....
