I gained 30 pounds when I stopped swimming. I've lost about 10 so far this summer. less than I'd hoped but it's progress. It's fantastic just losing the weight, not to mention getting fitter. I hope you're able to lose all 30. It's my goal as well. Grats on getting the swimming bug again.

Hi Tracy, I used to swim in the Gulf LSC in Houston from 1990 - 2000 for both SCAT and STAR. I am not familiar with the Masters scene there since I am now in the DC area. Is Clayton Cagle coaching the Masters team at Cy-Fair? He did produce 1 Olympian and a few swimmers who frequently attend the Olympic Trials. I would assume he is more dedicated to the age group swimmers. I have a friend who is swimming Masters at The Woodlands. Her times have been steadily dropping after making her comeback (she used to swim for Fleet before and during college). Wish I could provide more insight...but I wish you good luck. I too am starting again after 8 years off. Just waiting for the pools to reopen after routine maintenance this time of year!
