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

  • Different question, but still related to lane etiquette. Does anybody have issues with tailgaters? As long as they don't interfere with my turns, I don't care. Sometimes I encourage slightly slower swimmers to "tailgate" me so that they can make an interval that is comfortable for me but tough for them (i.e., an interval they couldn't lead, or don't think they could).
