Unfortunately, because of financial issues, I can't be part of a dedicated swim team/group. So, I do my laps at the local YMCA (ugh). But I haven't swam in about 3 years and really want to start to do train for competition in school (just started high school, 14 years old). Also, although not grossly overweight, I am, at 5'10 and 150 lbs. Do YMCAs have reputable coaches or am I out of luck and have to just do laps on my own?

I am a guy, and at 5-10, especially for swimming is not tall (asians don't get very tall usually :'( ). I may get a trainer, my parents are looking in to it If i do, I'll probably get a swim coach instaed for more focus on swimming itself. On situps, I do about 100 a day and pushups, 30-40 both in one sitting. I know it's not enough but I just started so... :/
