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?

Great advice one and all! I'm only committed through the summer, so I figure if I don't like the coach, I just won't sign up for the next session.
Much to my chagrin, swimming is not real big in my area. My 100 Free time from high school in 1978 would have been the high school record up until 2005 so after reading your replies I'm going to go in with confidence (not arrogance) - so now that I think about it, I'm sure there will be some who are slower then me (and judging from last year's team picture I won't be the fattest either). :laugh2:
First practice for me will be next Tuesday!
