Are Triathletes worth the dues they pay toward Masters Swimming?
I say we force all Triathletes to spend one day a week in the sprint lane, one day a week doing stroke (i.e. IM) work, and then make them focus on their starts and turns.
This invasion needs to be controlled.... :-)

It just makes things easier when 5 or 6 people are in the lane if everybody in the lane is doing the same thing. You're right though as long as everybody makes the interval it shouldn't matter what stroke they are doing. Therefore next time I want to get in a good breastroke workout I will move down and swim with the triathletes...
