I am now swimming with a new team. I think everyone of them is insanely fast. By insanely fast I mean they are either Olympians (true story), former DI NCAA finalist, World Record holders, etc. Not sure how or why they let me in ... perhaps as their entertainment. This was the main set this morning, it is SCY but still ...
4 X (3 x 100 1 @ 1:30, 1 @ 1:10, 1 @ 1:30, 200 free)
Round 1 200 Fr @ 2:30
Round 2 200 Fr @ 2:20
Round 3 200 Fr @ 2:10
Round 4 200 Fr @ 2:00
Being nowhere near fast enough to do almost any part of this set AND being a "drop dead" sprinter AND having to get out to get to work on time I missed all of it sans the first 3 100s which were more than enough.
I believe at least a couple made the entire set ... I told a teammate I would have needed fins, paddles and prayer to come close ...
Debaru...stick with it for sure. If you are worried about being in their way, just ask or let your lanemates know you are concerned. Chances are you are not in their way...or they will give you a few tips on how to swim with them at your own fitness level. Good luck and congrats on being back in the pool!

Thanks for the encouragement, Danielle. A lot has changed for me since October 1 when I posted on the subject. I'm now going on one month with a great Masters group and couldn't be happier. The folks I swim with are really great and our coach is absolutely fabulous. From day one, I was made to feel like one of the group and have no worries whatsoever.
