6. If someone touches your feet while you’re swimming, stay to the right of your lane and let him or her pass. If you’re near a wall, stop and move to the right side of the lane. Don’t be offended; this happens all the time.

7. Before beginning your workout, introduce yourself to any other swimmers in your lane. Knowing who is swimming with you will make your workout more enjoyable. Even more, remember that a great part of masters swimming is the social aspect!

8. Ask questions if you have any. Learn the order of the lanes and how to read the clock your first week.

9. Make sure you rest enough. If you can’t make the interval in your lane, move to a slower one.

10. Be positive and have a sense of humor at every workout.

Keep these suggestions in mind, join a masters swim team, and be prepared to add some fun to your workout routine!
