Give me a break. We train year round, some of us waking up at 4:30 am every day to get to practice. We invest time and money traveling to swim meets. We buy expensive technical suits. We worry about our tapers. We experiment with dry land routines and cross training. And we spend too much time on this forum arguing with other people who are similarly obsessed. You, Mr. Smith, are not being honest with yourself when you say that it's "just" masters swimming.
I do beleive that while Masters swimming is important to the participants, there is not much (or even any) in the way of financial gain to be had thru setting Masters records. Or at least at a SIGNIFICANTLY reduced scale compared to Olympic success.
