Competition?

For the first 5 years of our program our team was very competitive. I really think this was due to the fact that most of us were competitive swimmers in high school and college. Realizing that we needed to enhance our program by getting the more recreational/fitness swimmer involved, we have now become a team of "tile counters" that rarely if ever test themselves at our masters swim meets or postal events. I realize that every doesn't need to compete, nor do I want to force anyone to compete. I'm just looking for some creative ideas or examples of how any of you were able to get people to participate in masters competitions. I would appreciate any help...

It all counts a little bit. So, you're the one chasing me with the salt shaker?? You're lucky that you get to compete (and score points- wow)- my team is REALLY competitive and I'm not sure that my coach would encourage me- I'm the slow, chubby slug :)
