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?

No kidding, smarty pants. Swimmers are notorious for this stuff. I recall hearing stories of all night partying and then betting who could swim the fastest 500 free. I wasn't doing this of course. I was only friends with these cool dudes while participating in another challenging endurance activity. Maybe partying helps them blow off steam and not get burned out?
