Those workouts in a binder -- are there workouts that are under 2,000 meters? I should get something like that but realistically I'm not going to be able to do more than 1,500 meters because I'm so slow.

"Keep plugging along. The finish line is getting closer with every step. When you see it, you won't remember that you are hurting, that anything has gone wrong, or just how slow or fast you are.
You will just know that you are going to finish and that was what you set out to do."

Well, some of them are, but not many.

For example, if it says swim 4x200, you just swim 1x200. Or whatever you like. It's pretty easy to trim them down on the fly at the pool. You know what you can and can't do.
The good thing, is that it will give you workouts to grow into."Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"

Dang! I wish I got some credit for helping to sell their book! HA!
I hope the book works out for both of you ladies."Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"

There may be more than one masters program or practice in your area. I would talk with the coach and ask if there is another practice where you might feel more comfortable. I just learned to swim a three years ago and it took a year before I worked up the nerve to go to a masters workout (even though DH had been going for years). I am still in the slow lane, but I've gotten much better and I have learned a lot from swimming with better swimmers. All of that being said, there is another masters group in our area that is really good. From what I hear, their new coach is awesome, but I am scared to go to one of their practices. DH goes when he is doing IM training (it's a 50m pool vs our 25) and he is in one of the slower lanes.
We also try to find masters workouts when we travel and each one is different, so shop around.
