It's been cool for me over the last few years seeing and competing against a number of guys from both my age group and collegiate days. However, when I think back to my college team, in particular, I'm struck by how many guys are NOT back swimming and competing in Masters. I realize this is probably the wrong audience to ask (since we're back in the pool), but, since for me swimming & competing go hand in hand and I love swimming, I'm still puzzled why more people don't come back to the sport and to racing?
For me, "finding" time and feeling out of shape have been serious obstacles to joining organized swimming, and not always in that order.
This year I joined U.S. Masters Swimming and am very glad I did, getting strong and very slowly improving my speed and endurance, although there are days on which it is a struggle not to let work preempt swim practice.
