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.... :-)

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.
So Boe knows what to do.
This thread was started for those of the Tri stripe who, TI bible in hand, refuse to get along with the very people who are trying to help them. Will not swim anything but freestyle (distance at that), refuse to be passed in a civilized manner, disdain start and turn technique or etiquette, and talk over the coach. You apparently do not fit this category, so you are immune to the rants. Those who fit the profile probably do not surf this part of the web, anyway.
