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.

Lindsay,
I'm not trying to prove one particular view is right or wrong. I'm trying to show an alternative option moving forward, a viable way of generating more interest in the sport.
You look to the past and say, "this is the way it always was, so that's why it will always be that way." Except this is the way it was because the rules at the time were counter-productive to anything different. Things have changed now, which makes this an opportunity for investment.
What is $5-10 worth, or even $100-200 for a sports enthusiast? Although right now that enthusiasm is worth-less because there isn't a direct mechanism for them to be connected to the sporting event. Purchasing shares gives the public a vested interest, a direct way of being part of the sport.
I may be wrong and you may be right but if you can't do a better job of articulating your value proposition you aren't going to get people to invest.
