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 didn't mean to imply they ALL want a break from swimming. I just think the front page article is kinda dumb. I think most NCAA swimmers know that "Masters" swimming exists. I'm not gonna "plea" for more USMS swimmers from the NCAA ranks.
While the use of the word 'plea' is a little over the top, from my experience most younger (22 and under) swimmers have no idea that Masters swimming exists and those that might know 'of' Masters swimming don't realize exactly what it is.
