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,
Your right triathletes are a PITA. You should understand though that since the swimming is the wussy of the three legs, that 99.9% of triathletes care very little about it. And those that do, are the back of the pack'ers.
That's odd. I train with many the top Kona finishers to professional triathletes and they care VERY MUCH about the swim leg (they are typically top 3 out of the water). And they train accordingly. Are you talking about local tri races?
