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.

.I have no jealosy what-so-ever of your ability to do the splits as I see this as a genetic limitiation on my part...
i am jealous of anyone who can do a split, as i have nearly worn out my hips trying..... and if i could do one i would probably do a split on the white house lawn!
i think this thread just proves that "former high ranked in their youth now masters swimmers" who think this should be for "fun" should get lost and do an ironman or swim the channel or ride raam....... time to start living again.
