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.... :-)

The word "obey" just creeps me out. Masters swimmers have to adapt the workouts to meet their individual needs, abilities and physical condition. I'm like George, no pull buoys or paddles please!
Fort:
Sorry for the "obey" , my military background is showing. I don't know enough about swimming to vary too far from my coach. I understand good and bad pain and that will cause me to alter the plan, some.
Funny, my swim coaches had everyone using zoomers, long fins, small pads and large ones, buoys, and boards. Both are USMS certified and one swam in the 96 Olympics for Bulgaria.
I read the workout (e-mail) and then stack all my toys as neatly as possible. The other swimmers just stare. So I'm the swimming version of the guy with white tape on his glasses and a pocket protector.:cry: I even follow Speedo Swimmer's workout to the letter!
I read here that most of y'all don't use any "toys", but I HAVE to do what my coach says....resistance if futile!
