Here's a swim I bet you would all hate. I did. It was in a sprint triathlon, a 350y swim indoors because upstate NY lakes are still far too cold. In an 8 lane, 25Y pool you jump into lane 1, no diving, go up to the end and on the turn you go off at an angle to go under the ropes. Up and down each lane and at the far end go under the ropes. In lane 8 climb out and run out the back door to your bike transition. I simply couldn't put any power into the turns and going under the ropes disrupted the synchronicity of my stroke, like the first two had no power.
Anybody ever done anything like this?
I've done a few like that. One I did required you to open touch the wall in the lane you were in, swim under the lane line, touch the wall again and then push off. Having to touch a second time was a pain and really slowed down any rhythm. I much prefer the turn and push off under the lane line races.
