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'm "friends" with my fellow "eiltist" Mr. Thornton on FB...how's that work into your "association" theory?
An elitist believes that the elite class should have privileges beyond what the common class is allowed, including dictating the privileges for both classes.
Does Mr. Thorton believe that he is in the elite class? Most assuredly. But does he feel the need to dictate the rules for the common class? I do not believe so. This just makes him egotistical, not elitist.
Mr. Negative is an elitist, and being flattered by being associated with an elitist, you may be considered an elitist as well.
Thank you for your creative use of quotes, I did enjoy it.
