Anyone else find it a bit odd that the cover of the May/June issue shows "swimmers" wearing flotation vests?

Perhaps we should rename the organization USFS (United States Fitness Swimming). Many fitness/lap swimmners are intimidated by the term "Masters."
Perhaps "we" should recognize that Masters is not just about competition and pace clocks.

The above link states what USMS is all about and fitness swimming is one of the purposes of the organization. I think what this boils down to is tolerance and respect. We might not all be interested in the fitness aspect of USMS but they pay their dues (which includes a magazine subscription I might add) so they have just as much right to the benefits of the organization as those who compete on a regular basis.
Sorry for the rant.
