Hi all,
I just got the USMS card and I am interested in improving my butterfly swimming techniques. ( I am interested only in a butterfly swim)
I don't know where to start, where to go and what to do. I am 46 yrs old male, live in Sherman Oaks, California. I swim 5 times a week, 40 fly laps. I would like to swim in a team, competition, work-out, ocean swimming, etc.
Any directions?
A good start is the SPMA website - http://www.spma.net/. This is the website for the USMS zone you are located in. I live in San Luis Obispo, so I am not overly familiar with your precise location in relation to other SoCal locations. However, the website has a "places to swim" connection that will bring up a list of clubs with USMS connections. Any of these clubs would be worth looking into, or seeing how close they are to you.
You can also look for USA swimming clubs in the area as well (seperate organization, but still some clubs have Master's teams or would let adults train with them).
There are at least a few (probably a lot) of people on this forum that either swim in or around your area, so you might get club specific reccomendations.
