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 don't think there's a difference. I consider myself someone who swims for fitness, yet is a USMS member. I keep my membership to help support the organization, and get the nifty GTD certificates.
Hmm, cool but what are nifty GTD certificates? Maybe a stupid question ... but I have no idea!
... anyway, I think anyone who swims wants to swim well, and achieve a goal or they would not be there. This forum can help reach goals, and shares excellent advice strategies across the gamut of needs. So, maybe there isn't a difference generally, just varying expectations.
