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?

As a coach I advise the kids in my lane to tap to pass at the next wall. We have a crowd at practice and there needs to be a consistant means of communicating within and among the lanes.
I periodically "mix" the leadoff swimmers in a lane to prevent the rut of always swimming behind/in front of the same people.
I also periodically reverse the circle pattern in the lanes to prevent the "habit" of always flipping the same way to achieve the same exit pattern.
