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.

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."

But in the end.... really..... should master's swimmers care about the difference between a LZR and a Jaked? They both do an effective job of holding in your flabby gut, and that is what old people really need.
The rubber suits are great for USMS.... they make an otherwise unappealing spectator sport more pallatable.
