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?
Eric,
If I lived in Long Beach I'd be swimming with the Grunions. They have a beautiful facility, and are THE nicest people. Before one of my races last month at their meet I almost missed my race because they were so friendly, I was chatting. :blush:
For masters swimming you don't need to have a referral of any kind. Just find out when the practice is, show up, say who you are and what your background is, and I bet they find you a lane.
Or, if you prefer, just go and observe a workout. I, for one, would come ready to swim. It's far more fun to participate than to observe. :2cents:
Good luck.
:applaud:
