61 year old male, ex-Navy diver, ex competative swimmer (about a 100 years ago) has decided to start swimming again. I've joined the YMCA in Huntington WV last week and joined the US Triathlon association and the US Masters Swim organization also last week. I am serious about starting swimming so I can become competetive in my age group in the 50 and 100 meter freestyle. I don't have a local coach and the closest Masters team from Huntington WV seems to be about an hour away in Charleston WV YMCA.
What would you all suggest as far as getting a training program and a coach? I'd appreciate any comments.
thanks
John Lentz
