Elmwood and UNO both used to have masters groups. Not sure if either do anymore. Masters swimming in Louisiana/Mississippi has dried up almost to nothing. Most of the masters groups that do exist are made up of triathletes. So there are all sorts of skill levels in those groups.
I swim alone because I can't get up at 4:30-5:00am, swim and hour or so, and then stay awake for a day of work. Swimming alone gets boring fast, but its all I can do to keep under 200 lbs.

Just a heads up about swimming. If you are looking to improve fitness levels, do it. If you are looking to lose weight, don't bother.
You'll burn the hell out of calories in the pool. Trick is to not put them all back. I lost 38 lbs last year between Feb 1 and May 1 while training for SCY Masters Nationals. 4000-4500 yds (1 hour in pool) 4 days a week. Drylands for an hour on non-swimming days. Watched what I ate. Weight melted off.

Chris Lutz holds a masters class at UNO and I know there are others as well.
