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 suggest you make "I" statements rather than gross over generalizations such as "we" and "us". I believe your wanting to justify your existence through personal attacks and self rationalization of mediocrity embarassing and transparent. Please do the majority of "competitive" swimmers, former or master's current, a favor and go away. You are a hypocrite in your self- indulgence around the mediocre, the opposite of those self indulgent around their ID, wanna-bee masters swimmers attempting to beat former NCAA champions and Olympians who "get it".
