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 my mind (little as it may be), I have always considered elite swimmers those who: make Oly Trials (and/or better), and NCAA finalists. Probably too narrow a definition.
Since I have been using the term "elite" a lot lately, to me it means anyone who trained and competed throughout college at a serious program or competed at a higher level.
