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.

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 lap swimmer but not a member of masters. I would join and possible even attend a meet here and there, but the 2 teams in my area have either very early or very late/too far away practices. I already have 2 kids that swim 5-6 nights a week, I really don't need to be adding my stuff to our crazy schedule. If I can go to the pool in the morning and knock out 2 miles a couple of times a week I'm happy.I mainly come to this board because there is a wealth of info from technique to equipment to nutrition and so on.
