Old national caliber swimmers that never come back
Former Member
Interesting and unfortunate that the vast majority of ex swimmers that made finals at NCAAs or Nationals when they were younger (or even just cuts) do not now participate in Masters Swimming. Only a small handful of these people come to Masters Nationals each year within each age group.
What a good opportunity USMS presents to see old faces and have a good time. I think USMS would benefit tremendously from their knowledge of the sport.

I think beer and R&R is a better approach to entice these people. Most aren't interested in racing as they are so burnt out on it from so many years ago.
There needs to be more of a reunion appeal, and USMS needs to keep Nationals in a good vacation type location (coast or beach oriented) to strengthen the appeal.
