I just joined the Y and plan on hitting the pool. Im no champ swimmer but plan on putting in the time. I dont want to waste time swimming laps with a lame stroke. What would be the best way to improve my swimming? I noticed the Y has a masters class. Would that be worth it?

YMCA.

If you can get an hour or so of personal instruction at the very beginning, that can be helpful, too.

Masters can be a great way to improve your swimming, depending on the coach.
If you'd like some intensive help, check my website, www.triswimcoach.com for a coach near you.
Otherwise, you can get started with at free 4-session online swim clinic by signing up for the Tri Swim Coach newsletter!

Good luck!
