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 am a fitness swimmer and read when I'm able--at least the threads that interest or humor me.
I have no desire to compete, but gain a wealth of knowledge from this board.
I get social satisfaction each morning from the other swimmers I see during the week, I get my workouts from this board or from my own imagination, and get inner satisfaction from the GTD challenge.
Sure, it may be fun to swim with a team, but none meet at 7:00 am near my home.
And that's okay, especially on those mornings when I am barely able to squeak out a 2000 and just want to run and hide in the warm shower and crawl home.
