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.

    This thread needs to be moved off "General Swimming-Related Discussions"; it no longer has anything to do with swimming! If people want to spar, belittle each other, or just screw with each other that's fine.....but please just take it to another forum........maybe the dysfunctional personality forum. I personally am sick of this SH__! (I know I should just stop reading it but it's like a sick malignancy that just keeps spreading and contaminating healthy and happy attitudes). :blah: :confused: :badday: Sounds like you already know the cure...just stop reading it.
