Masters team in Bucks County, PA (Newtown/Yardley/Hatboro)

Does anyone know of a decent Masters team in the newtown/yardley/hatboro area? I'm a former college swimmer looking to train again, but can't find a decent masters team with somewhat competitive swimmers. thanks

I train with these guys (Valley Forge Masters) on Sundays at Villanova. 6k to 7k yards, open to all talent levels. They do practice in different locations during the week. www.bee.net/.../ValleyForgeMasters.htm

Pennypack Aquatic & Fitness Club in Northeast Phila has a competitive team. We practice LCM year round in a tub of a pool, but we have a range of swimming talent (USMS All Americans & top tens, to I just like to workout regularly) . You do have to be a member of the gym to be on the team, but the coach can give you a free membership to try us out. more information here: http://www.teampennypack.org/ Also in the area is the Colonials 1776 team. They are an umbrella team, so workout groups vary. Good coached workouts are held at Germantown Academy in Ft. Washington. They charge a fee per workout, so drop-ins are fine. I swim with them 1-2x per week, and the workout is differnt every time. Again, range of swimming ability. SCY workouts on M-W-F from 7:30 - 9:00 pm. There's also a group called Lower Bucks YMCA Masters, but I don't know much about them. You can PM me if you need more info. Dana
