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.

How would it help with the transition? A lot of people love master's swimming because they have a group to swim with, which keeps them motivated to stay fit but they don't have the desire to compete anymore.
I think if USMS required a competition it would actually drive people away from joining a team.
