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 think I'm the only sucker that waded into these murky, shark infested waters. First time on USMS site and its populated with 'tri haters'.
My approach is to swim with swimmers (my upbringing), run with runners, and bike with bikers. Learn from the good ones in each discipline, regardless of background.
Peace to all. No worries mates.
As a runner who recently got hooked on masters' swimming (also fairly new to this site), I'd say this thread was tame compared to some I've seen on letsrun.com. Swimmers generally are nice ppl so when they try (tri?) to be harsh, the grains of salt show. ;)
