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?
In addition to what Wookie mentioned about my coach, he also doesn't compete due to what he calls the "large target on his back". We saw it towards former Olympic athletes at Atlanta's Nationals.
Really? I got the different vibe as it was just fantastic to see any former Olympians still in the pool.
