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.

Great point. How can we possibly be having fun without beer?
Hey, here's an idea. Why don't you and your bemused former national finalist friends just hang out in your backyard with a few six packs instead of suffering through an unpalatable Masters swim meet with a bunch of flabby old swimmers?
Hey, great idea. I'm so glad your not threatened by the discussion. Your responses have been so deep and thought out.
Say..... I'll go do that .... and you continue to fish for compliments from your kids parents, pretend you are fast and in shape and post lovely photos of your aging body.
