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?
Interestingly, some Masters clubs do have certain requirements to join, and they don't seem in line with the everyone is welcome message.
Keep in mind that many teams are very limited in space and/or on-deck coaching so they do need to enforce some minimum requirements.
