I was just curious. I noticed that quite a few posts are from people in the UK, Canada (which is outside the US, technically ;) ), or high school swimmers.
Are people posting here because discussion boards are not available elsewhere? (I haven't looked.) Or is the information quality higher here?

I am going to agree with the above. You don't have to be swimming 4000 yds in a practice to join and swim in meets. I only swim 2000- 2700 in a practice. I am not a fast swimmer at all. I have found masters to be a great experience. You meet a lot of great people who are willing to help and encourage you no matter what team you are on or who you are. The sportsmenship in masters is just awesome. I could never imagine not being a part of a masters team. I find it a great motivator to get out there and swim. Its to easy to use excuses to skip out on workouts, but if you know you have a meet to work for you go and do it.
