Afraid of Masters Swimming

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?

  • You'll never get faster if you don't try :) I practice with an age group team. I am 39 they are teenagers. I am usually the slowest person in the practice. Yes, it's an ego bruise but I'm not there to compete against them. I'm there to get coaching, get in a good workout and enjoy myself. So go, have fun and get faster.
