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.... :-) John Smith :)

    Geek: You missed the funniest thing about Tri-geeks (sorry that's what we call them). A guy carrying 30+ pounds of lard, bragging about spending $250 on titanium seats posts to shave 5 grams. I think, "dude eat a salad and shave pounds off the bike!" We make fun of them too. Beth: You live toward Lake Lanier. But as I said earlier, swimming seems to be like gymnastics. Great for kids, but then they forget it. You live in the blessed area. I'm asking for help, I live in Mableton GA (west Cobb), someone find a coach/team within 20 miles and I'll do a 200 Fly (gauntlet thrown down). Dynamo is in Dekalb and Gwinnett counties. Rainbow Trout only have evening practices. I've called the (770) clubs they are on the other side or closed (mostly southside of Atlanta). I (like most -athletes) want to be a swimmer. I'm serious. I've been asking for help. Pony up!
