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.... :-)

I GUESS THIS ISN'T THE "SWIM FOR PEACE" THREAD.
I would think that all the knowlegeable and experienced swimmers would be pleased to share technique and training tips with the triguys.
It never hurts to do 50's, 100,s etc and with a little instruction most of them will join in willingly.
What's wrong with swimming freestyle most of the time? If your best event is th 1650, it's hard to see how swimming breaststroke is going to be much help.
In my experience , most triguys want to learn proper technique except when it comes to flip turns which they could care less about.
As for the obnoxious ones, we handle them the same way we handle the obnoxious swimmers...
