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.
That's funny. The swim is my favorite part of a triathlon, and breaststroke is my favorite swim stroke. I would never swim IM though, nor would I use breaststroke in a triathlon for anything other than sighting or shaking loose a foot grabber.
I do agree that the swim portion of most triathlons is way too short.
