They're typically a great mix of people, from triathletes just looking to get the hang of it, to former NCAA champs. A good coach will help you tons with stroke technique and it's nice for someone else to have to come up with your workout. Best of all, swimmers are a pretty great bunch - our local team is known as a "drinking team with a swimming problem" - so post-practice 'dryland' makes all those sets well worth it. usms.org should have a list of places/teams in your area.

Even considering you mean yards, not meters, it's still TUIM material.<br /><br />Drills. That's just TU material. Boring. I don't think they accomplish anything. I've been put through them all, and unless someone is watching you and yelling every other stroke, they're a waste of time.<br /><br />I sometimes (often) think all these drills and intervals and ladders and such are because most people get bored just swimming. Which is funny to me, because I've never once been bored, and I (gasp) do mostly long continuous swims. Usually 1000 m, sometimes 1500. Then a few intervals. Cooldown. Done.
