Swimming Straight In The Lane

Follwing up what Shaky said, when I was swimming in 'circles' so to speak in London during a crowded lap swim, I would also sight myself using the ropes (and when it was REALLY crowded I sometimes used touch as well, so that I didn't drift into the walls). Re: backstroke: I too used to use the overhead beam/lights to help me swim straight, but I now swim outdoors... Although, I must admit that I'd rather look at fluffy white clouds over leaks marks in a roof any day! :D peace...
