We don't aspire to the model-gorgeous playmates, but I'm afraid I'll be relegated to the "uglies only" corner, and feeling repulsive like I did in junior high school. Does anyone have experiences to relate that would help me know what to expect?

At your height and weight you will be in the majority.
If you saw someone like yourself - size 14 - at a club would you ignore her? Would you think of her as someone who belongs in the "uglies only" corner and not approach?
Hopefully you'd be open to approaching people like yourself as well as those unlike yourself in physical appearance. A swing club is a social event as much as a place to find compatible playmates. It can be a great place to make friends.
Be sure you say hello to all physical types, and remember, the only person who can keep you in the corner is yourself.
