The USMS web site is mentioned in the September 2007 issue of Outside magazine! :groovy:
On page 44, they have a "How Fit Are You?" quiz. One of the questions has to do with how fast the quiz-taker can swim 500 yards. The quiz directions say: "...check your time against U.S. Masters Swimming records at usms.org."
Didn't it imply that you were only fit of you could go sub-5:00 for the 500? That seems a bit harsh, given that only 3 of last year's Top 10 times in my age group (45 - 49) were sub-5:00.
