masters swimming for a newbie

Cgirlish

Anyone in a masters swim program that is not a strong swimmer??? I am a weak swimmer but looking for pool time, found a masters program and was thinking it might work for me..

Masters swim programs are tough. Depending on the demand for pool time they can be very competitive. I'm a medium swimmer and felt uncomfortable in one gym's pool because it was very crowded. If they are fighting for lanes, you'd be better off trying to find a partner close to your ability that can keep you moving.

ok went to my swim class today and the teacher said my freestyle looks ok ... but I need to work on endurance... and I'm sure a masters coach would say my freestyle needs work... so going to work on endurance this summer and hopefully feel comfortable to join masters in the fall
