I am pondering to join the YMCA swim team or not. I am a 14 yr old male, who's been through all the swimming lessons starting at age 5. I have done little competitive swimming, but I know all the competitive dives, strokes etc. I am curious if the YMCA is even a good place to master my skills, or if I should find another place. I also don't want to be blasted away by everyone else either.
Also, do many swimmers have stretch marks? Because I have those from a MAJOR growth spurt during one summer - and I need some suggestions for covering them up.

If you have the desire to swim competitively...go for it!
Check out the Y and see what they offer and how well they do in the meets. We have one Y team in our area that rocks. Check out local club teams in your area and do the same thing. Talk to the coaches and see what kind of vibe you get. Then look at your budget and schedule and decide what team would be the best fit for you.
Good luck!
