I have noticed on a few different occasions where people have mentioned the apparent "speed" of the pool they swim in.
anyone want to enlighten a clueless person as to what this means? ;)

It seems to me that there is a contradiction or something I don't understand. We talk about wanting a smooth surface ot swim on yet we also talk about drafting. I know that when I've drafted off of people, I can feel it. I also know that dwhen I'm drafting, I don't feel the catch very well. The beginning of my arm stroke can be very weak then. When the water is very calm, I feel my hand taking hold of the water & as I grab it, I push myself forward.
This has always perplexed me!
