Yet...... another comment on "elitism" in masters swimming. This ongoing battle of two imaginary groups....... the selfish former elite swimmers and the non elite counter parts.
Yes..... The Evil Smith and I have taken great pleasure throughout the last decade trying to secretly split USMS into these two groups. Our efforts to perpetuate this divide and fuel our intolerance for "learners" is now being undermined..... :-)
One Big Happy Family: Marcinkowski’s Masters

"Butcher, Zerkle and others say numbers have soared because Marcinkowski has tried to strip the elitism from masters swimming, often thought to be populated with former competitive stars who have little tolerance for learners."
The sun rises around 5am and sets after 10pm during the summer months over here, and since we have 5 weeks vacation over here, I like doing doubles during the summer.
my last few weeks of work I go to the pool before going to work, then head to the lake after dinner.
while on vacation I just did two lake swims a day 3-4x/week
if our evening practices were not so late at night I would be doing doubles 3x a week. as it is now I don't get home until 10pm and can't handle going back to the pool 8 hrs later.
