This Masters program is new to me. I've looked at the records for my age group, and looked at the record times.
How do I know if I even stand a chance? I understand I have a long way to go to get in shape, but I would at least like to know if it's a possiblity to compete.
I of course, thought I did rather well for my first day back. I'm 44 years old and been on a 27 year vacation from swimming.
Today I swam approx. 400 yds off and on... without the lifeguard coming in to save me.
I'm a sprinter and after about 200 yds,of getting my feet wet, I used the pace clock to time me at 50 yards. Without diving in, my time was 40 secs. I know I wasn't swimming my hardest and figure with a dive that too would shave a few seconds off.
I would like to join our local masters program once I can get in shape, but do I stand a chance or should I swim for the joy of swimming???
Any advise??

I'm love to compete, against the clock and people. It helps me set goals and challange myself. I figure after I meet my goal of swimming for 30 mins without drowning. I can set my goal of my time against the clock. Plus I would just like to know what people are doing.
