Elite vs. Fitness

Is there really a division between masters swimmers? i.e. one camp allied to a more low key fitness oriented approach with low membership growth vs. a meet oriented competitive (elite) camp? This sounds ridiculous to me. I don't think I've ever run into anyone that acknowledged this debate on a pool deck. What spawns this rift in Masters swimming? Is this an old guard vs. younger member phenonmenon? Are there different motivations that exist that create this conflict in terms of the future of USMS? Why can't both coexist? I say we poll some people out there and find out what they support. John Smith

    I'm not the one touting or defining this 2 sided argument. Personally, I think its ridiculous. This argument and general concept stems from the USMS organization at higher levels. It is, unforutunately, addressed in these terms. John Smith
