I think the article is fine as far as it goes, but it would be nice if they at least mentioned that competition IS a big facet of masters swimming for lots of us. Sure lots of USMS members do not compete, but how many other adult sports can boast of having an annual national championship event where ~2,000 athletes compete?
I really enjoyed the article, and I think it dispels the popular myth among non-members that it's all about competition or being super athletic. Though, if you are into competition, Masters is a great place to be. I admire those of you who compete, because I can't even imagine the dedication it takes to get in shape for an event.
