May/June cover of USMS Swimmer

Originally posted by gull80 So according to Craig and Matt, by criticizing the cover/content of USMS Swimmer, I am displaying insensitivity toward the disabled and being intolerant of fitness swimmers. Here's a news flash--I pay my dues too, and as a member of USMS who chooses to train seriously and compete, I find Swimming World a lot more relevant. Yes Craig, you do pay your dues and you are entitled to content in USMS concerning your favorite sport. But just as you pay your dues, so do others who may have other ideas than you. This is the first inclusion of non comeptitive content I have seen in USMS since I joined. Is it really all that bad to have one issue out of 6 that does not specifically pertain to you? If you prefer Swimming World then get it. I doubt anybody is going to lose any sleep over it, that is for sure. Maybe you could do USMS a favor and cancel your subscription thereby saving the organization some money on printing and mailing costs. I am not wild about aqua aerobics on the cover of USMS but I understand that the magazine is for USMS members, not comeptitive swimmers.
