Fitness and Lap Swimmers - You out there?

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'd put myself into a fitness swimmer category right now. I was a competitive swimmer until my freshman year in college. I'm planning on joining USMS when I get a few extra bucks (hubby lost his job..gotta save $$). I would like to compete after I accomplish some things first...lose some weight and get a schedule that allows me to practice with the USMS swimmers locally. My goal is to compete again someday. I'm just not ready right now.
