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.

By hyper-competitve I mean someone who exudes behaviors that extend beyond someone that is competitive. Like cheating, taking it too personally, or just exhibiting some general anti-social behavior in the context of competition.
That's helpful. Could you give some specifics behaviors re: cheating; taking something too personally; anti-social behavior - in the context of swimming/ competing.
