It's getting to the point where I hate swimming fly in practice because it hurts so bad when I get whacked in the hand. I remember this happening when I was a kid, too, but back then it was usually fine soon after. Now my hand bruises and it hurts for days afterward. Does anyone else have this problem? Is this something we just have to deal with when we get older?
Not a flyer, and not a Brit, but I wonder if the British way of circling (cw in one lane, ccw in the next, so I am told) would lessen the chances of a pair of hands/heads whacking each other...
I think it would definitely help, but I tend to nail people swimming in my own lane more than those in adjacent lanes.
