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

  • I have had guys swim under me in the warm-up pool at Nationals, when I am warming up for breaststroke doing breaststroke drill. It startled the :censor: out of me! I know I am slow doing breaststroke drills, but I have to warm up my legs before I swim breaststroke. There is really nothing I can do about it, besides try to pick my lane and my time at the end of the line of swimmers in the lane. But, at Nationals, there is no end of the line; the warm-up lanes are packed! :bitching:
