I coach a USA team and swim both USMS and USA. My kids like racing coach and trying to beat me. I have to say they are starting to really cream me now.
I have been doing this for 3 years and there are parents who have watched me loose weight and get faster over the years. I try to encourage them to sign up for masters.
Rarely are there other masters swimmers who do the meets I do. For me there are not too many USMS meets in my area, so USA meets are an opportunity to swim yet not have to travel.
I inspired one coach and one parent to start swimming just by me swimming at a USA meet. Now, I don't know if they did.
I liked that I didn't have to wait until January to get my first 1650 this season. I was able to do it this year in Oct. even though I wasn't 100% at the meet. But, still I got my first in season 400 IM, 500 and 1650 in already.
