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.

Re; seeding for Nationals-ABSOLUTLY KEEP IT THE WAY IT IS. I go to nationals to swim head to head with the best in my age group. I certainly don't go to watch close races. I doubt many people watch any heats at nationals that don't have a friend or teammate or someone REALLY fast in them.
