Oh good grief. Maybe there are some people out there who started out as triathletes from a very young age, but every triathlete I know came to it from another sport, often running (but swimming and cycling also).
HOWEVER, there are plenty of swimmers who complain about triathletes invading "our" sport. Usually it isn't because they are fast but because there can be a lot of them, and their interests in practice can be narrow (eg, long freestyle sets).
