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 was approached by a gentleman from a *shall remain nameless* local club earlier this summer. He, as a pool swimmer of all four strokes, was fed up with being a 1:9 minority in his pool and suffering through too many mid-distance free-only workouts, and was looking to start a new masters superteam. So look out for the NFTA - pronounced Nafta - team (No F'in Triathletes Allowed) at a USMS meet near you.
