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.

I've been trying to read this thread for days, and I still don't understand what everyone is arguing about. This may have something to do with Paul Smith's exclusively non-sequitur rhetorical style.
shares a common fear of speaking his mind "publicly" (ie. he's a ***) using an alias like you...
I see Mr. Smith, I am a *** because you can't read my public profile? I am not sure this reflects poorly on me.
Why thank you, CreamPuff. I think I may have suspected this effect I've had on you, but I never in my wildest fantasy life thought that you would declare it publicly.
That took courage!
LOL! Jim, you really need to rework your *wildest fantasies* if that's the case! :angel:
I much prefer perspicacious to pedantic, which is what I'm usually accused of being! :applaud:
There's a thread on the Open Water forum on urination. Maybe that should be stricken too. I'm sure there's at least someone lurking around the forum who perceives that to be offensive or even possibly, sexual in nature...

Yes. It comes with being an elitist 200 freestyler who can't do the splits and thinks anyone who swam for Cal did so because they couldn't get into Stanford...
Easy on the Cal comments, there, Mexican Cowboy!
We all know that Stanford people are those who couldn't get into Harvard...
I am an egotistical elitist, I only have a sense of humor when it comes to mocking swimmers from Cal, USC & Stanford...
Ah yes, the schools that always send their B teams to unload on the Nachos, er... Gauchos.
Dammit Jim, your vlog always upstages mine! You are the Michael Jackson to my Farrah Fawcett.....
Photoshop is definitely on my Christmas list this year.
