Masters Swimmers Acting Like Triathletes

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.

    And I believe that if you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen so to speak...I don't come on here and hide my identity so I can say things that I wouldn't say in person, it's amazing how much courage that gives some folks...I speak my mind, troll, try and have some fun, pass along some workouts in case people are looking...and I welcome the shots back at me, comes with having the biggest ego (and shoes) on this forum! Yes, I have noticed that you don't pull punches and speak your mind freely. That still doesn't mean being associated with Mr. Negative's comments is flattering. There is a difference between being opinionated and elitist.
