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.

Speaking of obsessed folks I like, my daughter shared a lane today with two of Puff's SwimAtlanta training partners, both older teens. They hold her in high regard. They asked me if I was as fast as Puff and I answered, "Indeed I am," then meekly added, "not."
Oh wow Geek. Hey that makes my day (not your being slower than me but rather what the SWAT kids said.) Was having a bad day until I read this. Thanks!
