All amateur swimmers 18 and over should be required to swim at least one masters meet per year. This would help with the transition into adult life, and really show the younger generation the value of masters swimming. Adults who continue to love the sport, that's a great networking tool and a positive way to stay involved with people of similar interests.

Okay, here's a good example.
Dara Torres. We have a public trading company established, where you can purchase a share of the Torres brand. It might have cost you $1 back in 1978. You watch her career, you invest more as time goes on. The company produces accesory products, the value goes up.
Now at age 41, she is thought to have no chance at all, yet she defies the odds, you win.
A Phelps-Lochte-Beard ticket might be really expensive right now, say $200 per share, but what will they do at the Olympics? Or, how many accessory products can the brand sell? It may have been better to invest $1-2 when the ticket was cheaper 10 years ago, either way, as a joe-public sport enthusiast you can decide where to spend your money, and share the dream.
You have brought this up a few times, you should really elaborate on this idea so that people can either get on board or explain to you why it won't work. The whole vague/mystery approach doesn't work. Brands are generally only as valuable as their ability to generate revenue. Despite the .com boom people who invest money want a return on investment.
