Why does it appear many masters swimmers are taking USMS so seriously?
What's the difference between the typical "selfish train all day", "it's all about me" triathlete and a masters swimmer who seriously trains as hard as they can.... particularly to focus on setting masters records?
Seems like there is a growing parallel between triathletes and many masters swimmers these days.
Isn't it just "masters swimming" for health and fun in the end?
Does a masters record really mean that much?
Is this a good thing? ..... or a turn off for those who look on with amusement.

I never realized that selfishness was a complaint about triathletes, I always thought the primary complaint was they bitched to much about the swimming leg of tris.
What exactly does a selfless person do? Spend a 110% of their income fueling our ecomony? Watch live tv paying special attention to commercials? Funnel more money into the health care/insurance complex by living sedate lifestyles while over consuming nutritionally devoid packed foods?
