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?

Didn't go horribly bad. I didn't have much time for weight training actually due to 2 hour practices eveyr night plus homework.
Half of my meets were varsity level, and if not for a retarded blown eardrum, would have made a varsity letter, in my first swimming year.
I'm starting to reallly get into weight training, especially at school and I can feel myself getting stronger. Oh, and last tiem I went to the doctor about 2 weeks ago, I was 183 still at ~5'10. NOW I'm overweight. I don't think I was ever 150. Maybe 170.
