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.

Yeah, that's pretty darn accurate. I had an entire lane ridicule me today about my 100 meter swim. Then, it spilled into my lane with the final comment directed at me by a very shy, quiet woman being "yeah, Billy, you suck."
Geek...you don't suck. You have to have been good at something at one time to suck. You just take up valuable lane space at practice, where someone that was once good at something but now sucks can take the spot.
You don't suck. You haven't heard that right to suck. Now, start trying to be good at something so that you can eventually suck at it.
