1)If you look at the number of members in USMS and the number of registrants for competitions, a majority do not compete.
2) Would a magazine directed to competitive swimmers be able to have any articles about recovering from injury or severe medical problems? I had several operations in the late 1990s, I was on chemotherapy until 2002, and I wore an oestomy bag for six months. I was barely able to swim. I took some shallow water exercise classes. They were very helpful in getting me back to the place where I could swim laps. Sometimes we used noodles. Before I began the long swim back to health, I thought that I would never be able to be physical again. The greatest monet I had was when I first realized that a shallow water workout might be a new beginning. I reached that moment reading an article about using ankle fins in a shallow water workout.
3) Defining the magazine with such very narrow limits will truly close the circulation. Frequently, I ask poele to be members of USMS. frequently, people respond to me tha tthey were but the USMS is so geared towards competitive swimmers they saw no need to participate in the organization. One woman who said this to me swims every day, swam in college and has children who compete on the high school level.
4) Competitive swimming is more than working out to get to a certain place so that you can go to a meet on certain weekends. Many very good competitive swimmers use cross-training to bring in freshness to their swimming. I would be irresponsible to not include cross-training.
5) I don't expect peple with no interest to buy the magazine. I do expect those who buy the magazine to have their interests anad curoisity pushed when they read articles concerning other aspects of swimming.
6) I hope no critic read the article about crossing the English Channel.
