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.... :-)

The swimming leg of a triathlon is the equivalent to the breaststroke leg of the IM.....a necessary evil.
Sadly in the triathlon that leg has very little impact in the success of the race (the main goal being to come out of it relaxed and smoke all the "swimmers' on the bike/run)...whereas in the IM our misplaced gymnast type-breaststrokers usually dominate....such an unfair world!
