I started my first masters program in late 2003 and did my first meet in 2004. Did many meets, Made some Top Ten appearances in 2004(LCM and SCM) and 2005(SCM). Trained here and there from 2005 to 2007. I would swim for three months and then take 6 months off for personal or professional reasons. In Nov 2007, I got back into training and did my first masters meet in 2.5 years in January of 2008. In Feb, I stepped up my training from 10 to 15 yards a week to about 20-25 yards a week. Now, I feel that I will be able to train without anymore off time but who knows. Hopefully, next year, I will have the financial means to do my first USMS Nationals and in 2010, to do my first Masters Worlds.
