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.
Hi mr. Negative! :)
I agree master's swimming is fun (and it should be)
I think it's FUN to work/train hard and see how fast I can go in the various events I choose to enter.
I think it's fun to work on perfecting my strokes through the advice of my friends (the coaches).
I think meets and OW swims are great opportunity's for FUN. I enter these events and try to swim to the best of my ability. When I do a good job I am proud and I celebrate with my friends(other swimmers on my team)!
If I don't do so well that's okay too, I know there are other opportunities for racing elsewhere.
I like to be accountable to myself and my goals for fitness, to me that's fun!
