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?

Different question, but still related to lane etiquette. Does anybody have issues with tailgaters?
One guy who is roughly the same speed as me will always leave 3 seconds behind me and sprint the first lap to get close enough to draft. He has no interest in passing me or leading the lane and will stay on my butt whenever possible. He openly admits this is quite intentional. I don't really mind because it's quite satisfying when I can drop him. Also, when I get particularly tired and want someone else to lead, this guy will happily do so, knowing he owes me.
