Loved the home page feature on the USMS website today...

Since the NCAA Championships are all around us these two weeks, who hasn't thought about our outstanding collegiate swimmers?
But have any of us considered inviting them to join us at masters in their near future?
Masters Swim Clubs in college areas could do all kinds of great things to inspire a retiring collegiate swimmer to join them.
Invite them to talk to the team at a social event would be an easy no-brainer.
But even beyond.
How about asking them to hold a clinic for your club?
And pay them since now they can accept the cash - and probably need it?
What else can we do to entice them to join our clubs (rack up points at the championship meets) and begin the rest of their healthy fit lives?
I found the article hokey and unconvincing (and matronizing). College is a time for changes and transitions. The end of a piece of work in college often has some emotional content. I burst into tears during my last German exam! That did not mean I wanted the tenured profs to rush into the room and tell me in how many different ways I could continue with German.
There are other things to explore in the world. Taking a break and marching resolutely in a different direction is fine, and also useful for personal growth.
