Is swimming "eating its young?" Are they being burned out with mindless yardage? Do they have to do volume training for long events? Are we missing masters swimmers who were burned out as youths? As to the kids, what can we do to stop the cannabalism?

Fortress,
Smarty-pants is good. My mom was thrilled that I found swimming and devoted my body and soul to it because it kept me away from "boys." This was the one thing I chose not to participate in: puppy love until I met my goals. My parents were thrilled; to them this made me the golden one (HA, if they only knew what us swimmers got into, but I never kiss and tell.)
It has been mentioned to me by other swimmers that we can be quite the party or rowdy crowd. :dunno:what? little ole us?
