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.

In total agreement--it was ridiculous. But still...when you burn out, you burn out, regardless.
When my son eventually stops playing hockey I'm not going to push him to play adult hockey. He knows it's available as he watches his dad play, but it's up to him, not me.
Also, the training program you were told to do was probably ridiculous.
If you trained properly back then, you might not have burnt-out at all.
