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.... :-)

Don't forget the NFL, shot put, heavy weight boxing division, etc I hate to say this but in my prime I would start the season at 275 lbs and would be down to 230 lbs by the end of the season, when I was racing in the marathon races. I won as much and more than the trim and fit guys. Now did I excel I don't really know.
