Unless there are scheduling/$$$ issues, I would encourage you to at least try a couple of practices (I&#39;m sure if you contact them they would love to have to join them). You&#39;ll see results a lot faster if you join a structured program. You&#39;ll meet other swimmers, you&#39;ll get structured workouts, you&#39;ll get a lot of encouragement and advice and you&#39;ll get immediate feedback.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/119478?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 04 Mar 2009 10:47:07 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:1d9a4a54-c046-472c-9faa-fd153d478a4eFormer MemberThanks for the advice.
