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.... :-)

I don't know how you can make these bizaree statements about swimming in Georgia, especially Atlanta, and Florida. First off, as mentioned above, Dynamo is one of the best swim clubs in the nation and has huge attendance. Secondly, there are many USMS meets in and around Atlanta yearly. Florida is awash in OW and pool meets every year. I count 30 meet results already this year on dixiezone.org. That doesn't include non USMS events, such as the annual swim around Key West, very popular event. The USMS places to swim lists 32 places to swim/clubs in Georgia, although many probably don't have coaches.
When I was in ATL last December, I had three teams I emailed about practice times and all were very welcoming.
Charlotte, a small version of Atlanta, has an absolutely enormous year round community, not to mention the summer leagues of six divisions with dozens of teams with 100+ kids each. And, that is small by Fort's standards in DC. There are at least three organized USMS teams here snd probably twice that of swimmer on their own at regular times.
Stop being a chlorine hater.
