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 swamAAU from 8-12 in San Diego in the 60s. Swam with a Rec Leauge from 12-18 in Northern California . Swam in High School. Then just swam laps for fitness for the last 30 years. Signed up for USMS so I could do the postal events and am looking for a team now. I am enjoying my swimming now more than ever and am really working on technique. Trying to get faster at 50 than at 18. We'll see, at least its a goal and something to work for. Paul
