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?
The longer you wait, the more mad at yourself you will be when you do join for the lost time. We have a large team and we always welcome new swimmers, of any level. Today we had three new swimmers in our level, they were all former collegiate swimmers but we also had at least 3 or 4 total newbies at the other end. I think after the 30th person welcomed them they finally understood what Masters is all about, that and Saturday breakfast.
