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 found out today that there are plans to make our Y's Masters group a better run group(like I have been begging for, for awhile), and I think making some changes will make this group grow......and I am excited about it, so I would say even though I am not elite, I certainly am not against growth!
