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.

That's for all the support.
I made no comment to the younger swimmers because I realize that they have yet to get into the meat of life. I'm very happy with my age and my goals. When I feel I'm ready to train with a team, I'll do it.
(If the younger ones give me too much guff, I'll just change in front of them and scare them with my stretch marks!)
