Since I have been back swimming I have read a number of threads, comments, articles, where adults are swimming and working out with the local USS age group team.
This has been something I have considered for quite some time for all of the obvious advantages, but I have taken no action because of my slowness, fatness and old ageness.
I can't believe it, but I finally got the nerve up to contact the local USS swim coach to see if I could workout with the team and she said yes! I'm scared and excited all at the same time.
For those of you who swim with the age groupers, is there anything I should know? Any advice?

Sounds like some sort of scare tactic from the coach. I have swam with our USS senior team before and there was none of this nonsense going on. There were some kids that were faster than me and some that were slower. No big deal.
My suggestion would be to go and swim with them and put forth your best effort. Nobody can look down upon you for that. Chances are, you will be faster than some of the kids on the team anyhow.
