Masters Swimmers Acting Like Triathletes

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.

  • .... My first act will be to fill my water bottle with Vodka and take it to practice tomorrow. I fully expect to be the life of the practice!! ....... Not sure how the Vodka fits into the health thing, but one out of two ain't bad! You should have been at the Vegas meet with Team Hot Tub a few weeks ago. You would have found out about how vodka fits into the whole scheme of things.
