How many of you swim on your own and have had success stories? Masters PB's or better, perhaps? What difficulties do you face on your own?
I have often heard people give the advice to join a team, stating that the friendly competition is good motivation. Is it possible to be motivated enough whilst training by yourself and really excel?

Yeah I guess showing up to half a million swim meets doesn't hurt :) I'm really lucky that I had people like you keeping an eye on me and helping me out where I needed it!
I could have never maintained the solo training so successfully if I wasn't out competing on regular basis. I needed to do it for a few reasons. 1. I needed to measure my progress 2. It kept me excited about swimming 3. It gave me a chance to socialize with other swimmers and get feedback on my races.
