Lane etiquette question

Just wondering, when lane swimming and a faster swimmer can't for some reason go around a slower swimmer (narrow lane, busy lane, slower swimmer is in the middle of the lane, whatever), is it acceptable etiquette for the faster swimmer to pass underneath the slower swimmer? Will that freak out the slower swimmer? Alan

    You''d only have to go under the other swimmer once and freak him out. Chances are good that he'll stay out of your lane after that. Although I do like the idea mentioned in another post where 2 swimmers (swimming sides) had a 3rd person join them--the first 2 swimmers decided to do lengths of butterfly--3rd person left!
