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.
