May/June cover of USMS Swimmer

Originally posted by aquageek I already take enough grief from my non swimming friends about wearing Speedos. Now our flagship publication has aqua joggers in flippers. I sure hope none of them get their hands on this month's edition. Can you imagine a triathlon magazine putting a picture of a fellow on a banana seat beach cruiser bicycle on it's cover? Or a ski magazine showing a fellow doing a snow plowon a bunny slope? USMS consists of all kinds of members. Not all of them swim paced workouts and even fewer actually compete. The magazine needs to consist of content that applies to all of it's members, not just the race ready crowd. I don't have much interest in anything dealing with noodling or whatever else is on this months magazine (I have yet to get my copy) but I can understand that the magazine has a target audience that consists of more than just the USMS forum members.
