Okay, I'd love to join a masters group but I've never sum on a team before ... most have I think, and I don't know how comfortable/welcome I'd be because I suck (relatively).
Anyone have some stories of their first masters team where they had not swum on a team prior, but brought in the courage to join?
How did it go? How did you become comfortable and keep up?

Thanks Skip, I keep telling myself to join and I keep putting it off. I know it's the best way to challenge myself but it's kinda scary to commit to join an already gelled group of swimmers, especially when I'd be the kid in the pool (kid = weak swimmer with lots to learn). I swim in Long Beach, CA ... pretty competitive area ... eh, maybe I'll suck it up and go. Nerves and new challenges.
