Old national caliber swimmers that never come back

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.

The sport is not growing in the US in general. If anything it's dying slowly.
US medal totals in the past 4 or 5 Olympics and World Championships certainly lend credibility to this assertion.
