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.

  • You just have your knickers in a twist b/c your old alpha male self cannot persuade, cajol or bully me into agreeing with your conservative politics! Ah yes, pulling a Thornton/Gull there eh Fort? Just because you saw me challenge people's positions on SOME issues you decide to "label" me politically...never have been a Republican/Conservative never will be...but nice try and very nice example of an elitist attitude... Positive...see what I mean...the pack rat/gang-up on/distort/lie mentality by those who got a little senstive about stuff on this thread. I'm sure it will be blogged about and have some photo-shopped images on a few blogs by the end of the day.
