Hi there! I'm a 23-year-old woman trying to get started in Masters Swimming. I've been wanting to do this for several years and finally decided to give it a shot.
I swam competitively as a child, until I was 13. I haven't swam much since then. I started working out about 6 weeks ago and did really well for the first 4, but the last 2, I seem to have trouble finding the motivation. So, now I'm setting a goal: go to a meet before November. That only gives me 5 months or so to get good enough to not completely embarass myself. I've got a long way to go. If it's any indication, my best time for the 50 Freestyle (since I started working out in March), is :44, that's without anyone to race.
I would love any suggestions to help jumpstart my training and keep me motivated: diet/nutrition, strength training, endurance, breathing techniques, ANYTHING! What got and keeps some of you motivated?
I just found this site today and I'm going to start trying the workouts posted tonight.
Wish me luck!
Thanks,
Anna

My goal is to be able to swim a 100 when I am 100 !!!
And the time doesn't matter...............
See you at the finish line, if you get my drift !!
