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.

It seems pretty clear that your open water experience is limited. Most events are just as competitive as those swam in a pool; Olympians and the like.
Times are very important, and recorded. There are All Americans and rankings.
I admire your unorthodox style of backstroke and your speedy times, but you won't do squat swimming that way with the big boys.
You are either trolling, or a complete nitwit... I vote for the latter. Don't dis people who can swim circles around you.
