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 believe the coach can make a big difference in how triathletes fit into a workout. Teaching workout etiquette and making sure everyone is in the correct lane are essential.
1. stick to the interval
2. leave 5 sec apart, 10 if there is room, and be consistent
3. move out of the way so the swimmers behind you can finish
4. learn to read the clock - you can't descend or learn pace if you don't look at the clock
Just a few of my pet peeves. I had words with a triathlete last week who wouldn't move out of the way and let me finish.
