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 admire your unorthodox style of backstroke and your speedy times, but you won't do squat swimming that way with the big boys.
I suppose that you're one of the big boys, then?
You sound like that little pipsqueak dog in the cartoon, the one that stands a bit behind the big tough dog and goes "Ya me too."
It's not a me, too statement. I don't believe Chris called you a nitwit - I did. Do a BIT of homework before you criticize the accomplishments of other swimmers.
