"I hate swimmers!" This was a comment I overheard at a triathlon that I competed in today. There was a group of triathletes discussing thier dislike of those of us that can swim. I just found it a interesting comment and wanted to see what others had to say about it.

    Keeping the swim shorter makes the tri doable for more people. They don't have to spend as much time in the water both racing and in training. Make the swim longer and I think fewer will want to participate at the grassroots level. Not really in the best interest of the sport.
