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?
Congrats on getting through it and enjoying it. I know what you mean about doing more yardage but not necessarily harder. I have days like that with my age group.
I've been with them since Sept and only 3 kids have asked me my age. One girl asked "what grade are you in?". I tried to add it up in my head but stopped around grade 20 (counting from college on). When I tell them I'm 36, most are shocked. I'm only 1 year younger than the coach I swim for!
When do you go back?
