But I guess that what US Masters really wants. A touchy feely environmnet for everyone! No one should be to good just average we would'nt want to make anyone feel less than!
While there are "gate keepers" on a lot of forums, there are many more who welcome new people and are accommodating in answering questions.
I figure if this forum invites general questions about swimming, those posting such questions are within their rights. People are at all stages of learning, and often those who have most reason to be gate keepers are the ones most encouraging of newcomers. I think of Geochuck!
I should say for the record that I sometimes put noodles into water: boiling water with a little salt and oil for ten to twelve minutes. The kind I see in swimming pools never seem to cook quite right and they taste rubbery. ;)
