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.

    Master swimmers with shark and/or bovine tattoo's that can't swim a 100 under 1:00 but have $500 LZR's Might this be what Mr. Negative was getting at? If so, god speed all of you masters swimmers who are supporting Speedo and Blue 70, therein supporting masters swimming. What I've learned from this thread. . . You need to be a certain level of *fast* according to some so as to *qualify* to buy the expensive toys whether it be a LZR, B70, or pair of fast wheels. . . :confused:
