Rumor has it that some teams were recruiting outside there LMSC for swimmers at nationals. What do you think of this.

OK, so now that heads seem to be a little more level, I agree with a lot of Connie's more recent posts. I'm in no way opposed to the growth of masters swimming, but this growth needs to be managed effectively.
Okay. maybe I'm little naive, but isn't it kind of implied that we want to do things in a reasonable and effective manner?
Who in their right mind would want to push for something dysfunctional???
Just increasing the membership is clearly not the answer. That was my original point and sorry if I helped this thread go off on a few ill-advised tangents! I have no problems with my membership fees going to the advocacy of masters swimming, just not growth for growth's sake alone.
Well, you know things are never that simplistic.
Was it you that asked me to tell you why we'd want to grow... My first thought was, heh, that;s a loaded question, I could write a whole book about reasons and possibilities that would open... My thoughts aren't sorted enough yet to pare them down to post or two or three.
P.S.: Jim, I think what Peter was trying to say is that everyone's just trying to make masters swimming mo' better :)
moe is betta then no moe ;)
Where's Mr. Moose when we need him!
