At my yearly physical last week a funny thing happened. The doctors staff informed me that swimming is not an aerobic exercise and that I would be better off walking briskly for 20 to 30 minutes a couple days each week.
I explained I try to swim 2 to 3 times each week for 60 to 90 minutes,and my workout is prepared by MO, ya'll might recognise that name. They asked me the distance I cover in that time and I responded with 2800 to 3500 yards or 1.5 to 2 miles depending on time.
Not good enough according to the staff. I should be walking. I will let the facts stand for themselves.

Well it is off to the pool for another MO workout. Maybe I will walk briskly from my car to the pool and see if that counts. Thanks for those workouts MO I enjoy them.
Have a great day

Again, you all are forgetting about how to do outreach to areas that do not have clubs and coaches.
When you say "outreach" do you mean:
1 - putting clubs and coaches in place to serve the existing Masters swimmers currently swimming without clubs/coaches or
2 - serving the unattached swimmer's daily program needs directly from the national organization or
3 - getting new swimmers involved in places where there are not currently coaches or
4 - something else?
These are distinctly different things that would require entirely different approaches.
