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 is impressive, I agree, but the times/results that such person is able to achieve are dictated largely by the work that was put in as a youth and who is or is not still swimming...
What about people who never had the opportunity to swim competitively when they were young? Not every masters swimmer has that background, some of us could barely swim when we were in our teens.
