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 strive to be non-argumentative in my posts, but I have to call BS on this one.

Hahaha. Since switching from running to swimming and starting lifting, I've gained weight and had to buy a new wardrobe. I'm just flat out slimmer as a runner, that's all. But I was really just exaggerating to dispute Mr. Negative's swim for health edict. Perhaps I should have switched to being a triathlete and I would have fit right in!
Thanks, Splash, but I don't eat too much and I know that stuff.
