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.... :-)

Actually, for the most part I'm serious. I can't get to Dynamo at the time they practice (given the location) or I would be guilty of abandoning my family. I've called a couple of (USMS) listed clubs and they are closed. GA Tech is only open at night so I'm stuck.
I stand corrected the an OW swim did exist in 1896. I was thinking of the pool swim which came later. Thank you.
I have gone to IAAF and USATF meets; they are huge! Mostly sprinters though. I think the demise of T&F is that we have no great distance athletes. At Least like the old days.
I really enjoy swimming and hope to improve and compete. But from growing up in the south and living in two major metro areas, I find swimming just isn't that popular by the number of participants and events to go to. This weekend in Metro atlanta there are several major running events. There are zero swimming events. The two pools in Atlanta I go to are usually empty.
