    This will not be easy - take it from a German. There are plenty of pools -- here is your source for all the pools: http://www.swimmersguide.com/ but there virtually no Masters teams in Germany. Here is one - they have practice 2x per week very late in the evening Trainingszeiten: Di.: 20:30-22:00 Uhr Do.: 20:30-22:00 Uhr Ort: Schwimmhalle im Sportforum Hohenschönhausen Fritz-Lesch-Str. 13053 Berlin The other problem is Lap swimming is terrible in Germany -- they usually don't use lane lines to divide, everybody swims Breaststroke, and usually there is a big rope between the shallow and deep end. Berlin is very big -- what part of town are you in ? Look for a club team in that area - maybe they have a Masters group.
