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.

Really? I didn't know coaches train amateur athletes without the racing component. Either way, this seems to be taken out of context, I'm just saying it would be good if more swimmers thought of masters as a viable option. Not just for the competitive element.
Um, since when? Required to race? Nope, definately not REQUIRED. Encouraged? Yes. Required? Not in our area.
