Why more men?

The Fortress
Why are there more men than woman in masters swimming? Everyone says that women's events always end before the men's events (and thus we have to keep that odd/even rule for pools at nationals). Is this still true? The last meet I attended there were 62 heats of women and 65 of men.

  • One of them can even kick a certain curmudgeon's butt in his beloved 50-54 fly events. Leslie: Is this statement really necessary? I think everyone should just back off and keep statements like these off the discussion because they contribute absolutely nothing positive. Leslie, I am not trying to single you out and this goes for everyone today who have made similar statements today. If you have an issue with someone, settle it offline from the forum. Don't get me wrong, I am not perfect in this either and I was involved in the first locked out thread here and I used the private mail feature to settle the dispute. I think that is the good way to do it because you won't bring everyone down with negative comments and you will be more civil because you won't have a USMS audience to try to impress. I have done this many times and believe me it works with all parties concerned.
