Congrats to your group Chris.......must be fun to be at one of your practices...I of course would be lapped time and again..but still a dedicated group like that is awesome.
It isn't all fast people, by any means. We even have (gasp) triathletes. Though actually our triathletes are generally pretty fast swimmers, even if they mostly do freestyle.
We do pretty much race-pace training, though, which does discourage the "lap swimmer" mentality, and perhaps encourages people to participate in competitions. The triathletes still like it, though. (Well, if they didn't, I guess they'd move on...)
