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.
To each his/her own. This is a competitive sport after all. Not to be solely dominated by those with a past history.
The average American spends 4 hours a day watching TV. Who knows how many hours in front of a computer. It is not only a good thing, but a commendable thing for adult swimmers invest time and effort into becoming healthy.
Jane and Joe usms members who work hard and don speed suits are sooner or later going to take down a record held by an elitist who swam off of a talent base. That's just the way it is. And oh yes, good for them. Not shame on them.
Elitists train, don speed suits and do not just swim from a talent base.
Jane and Joe, pejorative appelations, may also be swimming from a talent base. Perhaps they trained wrong when young, had other priorities, were injured, chose other sports, or chose to attend college without swimming.
Talent, just like records and tech suits, is not the sole property of former elitist has beens.
