Ok, I just joined the board to help learn how to swim better and enjoy it more. Now after reading some I'd like to know more about competition. Are the meets for people in the 40's? It seems from this website that there are, but I never see meets advertised like you see 5Ks, 10ks, and marathons. Where do I find them. How good do you have to be to complete?:confused:

Just good enough to get from one side of the pool to the other using a legal stroke. Some people take competition very seriously, while others do it for fun, to judge their own progress, or just to say, "I did it."
Try a local meet to get started. You'll see people ranging in age from 20-something to 90-something. You want inspiration--just watch someone in the 80+ age group swim the 200 fly or the 400 IM!
