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 swimmer. I've wanted to join Master's since I learned to swim 2 years ago but I have a stubborn shoulder problem that leaves me only able to swim breaststroke and do kicksets. So I swim breaststroke and do kicksets and feel pretty happy that I can even do that. I don't worry about competition. I don't have much drive for or interest in speed, so while I check in here, I don't participate much because I'm just not on the same page as most posters here. Plus I have an ambivalent relationship with the internet anyhow...
