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.

If you bring them they will build.
If the various athletic clubs and pools see the pool is what is drawing the people/$, they will build to accomodate.
Wouldn't it feel better to be #1, #100 or #1000 out of 250,000 rather than 25,000?
