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?
I think it is those of us who didn't burn out on USS/AAU back in the day who are swimming better than we did as youths... I didn't really start swimming seriously until I was 16 and didn't swim USS - so am relatively new and missed all the "fun" stuff.
