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.... :-)

Ask anyone who the star of the Olympics is and everyone will say Phelps. Since I actually hang out with people who participate in other sports. Most of them point to track as the premier events.
How many kids tris or kids swim meets you been to lately? Go check em out and draw your own conclusions. I would love to but there aren't any. Hopefully next year, I can volunteer at one.
Since when do triathlons determine the best over all athlete, as you say?
That's best track and field athlete. Like the fastest human is the winner of the 50m. No Johnson was faster, at top end speed.
C'mon, man, get your sports history right. Get your whole post right, for that matter. Trithlon goes back to the 70's and swimming is not one of the originals in the first Olympics or the modern Olympics.
Get your facts right.
