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?
A couple of points:
You're ultimately competing against only yourself, just keep improving with age!
As you train, you'll be motivated by those older swimmers who can swim better than you now, and you'll get personal satisfaction as you eventually start beating some of them.
Pace yourself and keep getting a little better with age, you will eventually be world champion, you only have to outlast everyone else!:bliss:
