I hate people who skip parts of the workouts. We have swimmers who are bull****ing their workout. and meanwhile Me and a couple of other dedicated swimmers on the team are actually working as hard as we can. and then the people who are skipping workouts, are telling ME that I am doing something wrong. they are beginners, and I have been swimming for 7 yrs. sorry about my tantrum, but I had to tell somebody. what are some of your thoughts on this? thanks!

hmmm... as one who skip parts of sets (but doesn't nag anyone else about their swimming habits :) ), I would suggest that you get on with your own workout and ignore them. Having said that, however, should anyone be derisive in their comments to you, tell them to bugger off and mind their own business. and don't be afraid to remind them that you've been working a lot harder for a lot longer before they showed up!
I'm fortunate that my coach is flexible about showing up, and if I'm quite late, I get my own lane and separate workout, which can be up to 4000 metres (which is a lot for me)... hmmm, I guess you can say that he makes me work harder when I'm by myself... there are several late comers that form their own sub-group and no one minds...
But, then again, we don't go telling the triathletes how to swim!! I have had a quasi-argument with someone who was being a bit snotty because the coach put me in the lane with him... I can't repeat what I said, but he's been a lot nicer to me since.
Good luck and don't go taking any attitude from anyone!!
