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!
Speaking as someone who is sometimes prone to getting out early -- get over it.
What bugs me most is people who show up late -- halfway through a workout. In your lane, you end up in a rhythm, knowing where people are and how people are swimming, and then suddenly someone shows up and messes up the balance. It can be aggravating.
As for getting out early, I find that much less reprehensible. I've gotten out early for a number of reasons. Usually, it's because my shoulder has acted up and I need to ice. Sometimes it's because I have a meeting to get to. Sometimes it's because I'm not feeling well, and the energy level just vanishes. I put in plenty of hard work at the front of the lane on lots of days, so I don't feel guilty about jumping out early on occasion.
