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.

One man's enjoyment..... Another man's pain.
Of course there a many ex national finalists that are turned off by the intensity and success of lessor talents.
Many roll their eyes at the thought of taking USMS for anything more serious than health and fun.
The number of ex national finalists is minuscule when compared to the number of people who can swim. Is there a good reason USMS should cater to the ex nation finalist demographic over the majority of swimmers?
