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.... :-)

We have some triathletes on my team and they don't exhibit any of the ettiquette breaches mentioned earlier in this thread. All the triathletes swim the workouts as they are written on the board.
After reading the other posts it made me wonder what the difference is? Perhaps it is because two of the better triathletes on our team are awesome IM swimmers?
As one of my team's coaches said when reporting the results of an open water swim with well over 100 participants.
Congrats to NAME_OBSCURED. First place in his age group and fifth overall out of N people - that's awesome! That's N-5 people who clearly didn't do enough butterfly.
