Hello,
I have a question regarding etiquette when sharing/splitting a lane that is against the wall (with the ladders).
Today a woman wanted to share my lane with me but was perturbed when I told her that I wanted the pool side of the lane.
It is my feeling that if I am in the lane first I get to decide what side I want, either the wall side or the pool side.
Is there a general rule or some type of etiquette that I am not aware of?
***What are your thoughts on the foot touching?
Well in club workouts, I use the foot touch ONCE if I am preparing to pass someone and we are within 5-7 yards of the turn. Sometimes people don't realize you are bearing down on them, and I want the person to know that they should not "cross over" the lane while flipping, that I am going to move up along side them and flip and push off. Now the touch itself is no more than a tap or two on the bottom of the foot. This no foot massage, and I am not doing it to be annoying. Like I said, for me its just a heads up.
