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.
Are these the same people who thought Auburn only won NCAAs this year because they wore "cheater" Jaked suits?
I'm guessing those same people will be pointing out how badly the US got its ass kicked at Worlds unless USA Swimming/Speedo allow swimmers to opt out of their contracts and wear the Jaked.
"Michael Phelps doesn't plan to experiment with any new suits at next week's U.S. national championships. Other swimmers aren't so confident they should stick with what they've worn in the past.
Last week's ruling by the sport's governing body to approve more high-tech suits leaves them with some decisions to make.
Dara Torres expects to try different suits and make a "game-time decision." U.S. national team coach Mark Schubert said he would advise swimmers to experiment with various options and choose what they feel most comfortable with.
The problem is that for many elite swimmers, their primary income comes from the suit manufacturer sponsoring them — and they may believe that company no longer makes the fastest suit."
