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

  • Now here we go, those of us who think water aerobics shouldn't be on the cover of a swimming magazine aren't being respectful or tolerant of others. I'd hazard a guess that a minute fraction of USMS members even go to water aerobic classes or use those classes as their sole form of water exercise. It's called USM SWIMMING. Floating with a belt and flippers, no matter how strenuous, is not swimming either for fitness or competition. I wonder if there is a water aerobe association and they put a picture of a swim meet on their cover this month? I hear competition swimming is a good way to supplement floating.
