Masters team practice Tuesday, there were two lanes closed because of some maintenance issue overhead. So we spilled over into the lap lanes. I was alone in a lane at first but then some random guy shows up and jumps in with me. That's fine, since I was occupying his rightful space. But he turned out to be a wide swimmer, arms and legs akimbo. He took up 3/4 of the lane width and his hands and feet often smacked into me. I got hit and kicked so many times I found bruises when I went into the shower. In addition, I had to alter my form to watch for his approach so I wouldn't get punched every lap.
I've had a longstanding fear of being castrated in such a way. So far unfounded, but I did have a terrible crash once and messed up my shoulder. Feel better soon.
