Hey guys I am new here. I have been swimming with a group that is chill, the coach is cool and supportive. I have no formal experience with swimming other than what I have done on my own for triathlons and swimming with this group has sparked an interest in competative swimming. I am moving to West Palm Beach in June and wanting to join a masters team. Any recommendations, advice, warnings?
Thanks

Actually, I think the longer you wait, the harder you'll kick yourself for not jumping in sooner once you do eventually take the plunge. ;) Our team has people who swim repeat 100s on 1:15 intervals (or faster) and others who need a 2:00 or longer interval. Some have just completed their collegiate careers (or are in college and could be swimming at the collegiate level but choose not to). Others use it simply as a route to better fitness and never swim in meets. We also have triathletes, sprinters and folks who specialize in long distance (open water, postal swims, etc). Trust me. There is a lane for you to swim in.
