I want to work on improving my swimming to hopefully do a triathlon. I am really a lousy swimmer. I'm always the slowest person in the pool. My endurance is fine from running etc., but my strokes/form are terrible.
Everyone says masters swimming programs are the best workouts, but I don't want to go near one because I would lag behind even the oldest, most out of shape members.
What should I do?

That's like saying you are afraid to join the A/V Club or the Marching Band in High School because you think the members are too cool and intimidating. The vast majority of Masters swimmers would LOVE to have more company in workouts and at meets, and increase our membership locally and nationally. Nobody cares about your speed. Seriously. Jump in and make some friends! They will be glad to have you join them!
