I know that you're there... and you have something to say.
Lets' hear it.
But seriously. Do Fitness and Lap Swimmers really read this Forum?
I wish they did, but I doubt they see the potential.
Fitness and Lap Swimmers, I'm a masters swim coach.
I watch your lanes - oh maybe 15-20% of the time I coach the masters lanes.
I see those of you lurking on the side lanes listening to the sets - and to the stroke instruction...
Watching swimmers underwater for stroke demonstrations.
Its' ok - and a really good thing.
A decent masters swim coach knows how to recruit right out of those lap swimming lanes.
Ahelee
P.S. I loved reading the thread, "As an outsider to harcore swimming..."
Finally some swimmers after my own heart.
Except that I like to recruit lap swimmers to our program!
I'm a fitness and lap swimmer! I'm also a Masters swimmer! I do the infrequent OW competition swim as a way to see the sights, and maybe have a chance at a medal if nobody else in my age group shows up, LOL.
(Are you looking for non-Masters-enrolled swimmers reading a Masters forum? There are some here; and there is also a longish thread, "Why should I join USMS?" It's all self-selecting in any case.)
Here's one thread (there's at least one other):
forums.usms.org/showthread.php
Another: "I thought about joining but couldn't come up with a good reason why I should":
