Answer 1

no you don't. when i started i was not good at all. but don't be hesitant to join because your not fast. you will get better over time. for what you need to know, its diff for all teams. my team required that you no how to swim free and that you have an idea of what the other strokes are for the bronze team. the gold team is that you are advanced in all strokes.
