I recently posted a question about racing and received a lot of great answers so here is another question. I am about to participate in my first race (in a pool) and I am worried about being disqualified now. What are some of the common mistakes I need to be aware of? Turns maybe?
And you're not allowed to swear especially during the turns.
Also...do not wear a watch or any jewelry. Wrist bracelets or dangling earrings will get you disqualified as well.
Really? How many masters swimmers out there swim and compete with their wedding ring on? I don't, but I know a lot who do. The reason I don't, is because I swam so much of my life without the ring, that it just feels weird on my hand when I do have it on in the water.
