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 heard these same words at practice last week, except without the Italian accent. :D
Everyone seems to love to brag that they don't train and they don't take it seriously ... Most of that is just pre-excusing.
Oh no! Sorry! We can be f'in beeches together then! LOL! I guess I should have been horrified, but the accent cracked me up. Beech?! What did you do to get that rxn? Or rather, what did this person fail to do to elicit that response? I need to make it my new goal to see how many times I can be called that in one practice!
My all time favorite excuse is, "I biked 75 miles this morning first and only got 4 hours of sleep."
