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?
What do you do in triathlons if you are the last out of the water? If you can live through that you can live through being last in a master's Swim practice.
Honestly I really couldn't tell you who the slowest swimmer is on my team. I'm not sure who does the entire distance of the repition, swims all the practice, wears fins, starts early or any of that. Who really cares anyway.
Why don't you go try a practice or two and see how it goes. If you hate it or can't keep up see if they will e-mail you their practices and then you can do them alone. You will be first every time!
