Hello:
My goal is to join a Masters Swimming group (Ann Arbor, Michigan) but before doing so, I want to "prepare" myself. I have done some reading relevant to what goes on at a swim practice (and did a little bit of AAU swimming as a kid--a long, long time ago). Right now I can swim a mile (freestyle), which is what the Ann Arbor group requires, but from what I have read, the swimming practices are much more intense than just swimming a mile. I would welcome any advise anyone might offer regarding what I should be able to do as an "entry level" swimmer. My goal is to get in shape (I am 52 years old and overweight)--I am not necessarily interested in competion and have set a goal of one year to get myself ready to join the swimming group.
Thanks
Brenda
Good luck and Welcome to Masters Swimming. Try out a few different teams to see what you like best. You may want to see about working with a private instructor to help you with the strokes. Working out with a team is definitely more fun than doing it on your own. I have great friends that I met through Masters.
Have fun! If you are ever in MD come join us....www.terrapinmasters.org
