How about this year we don't dedicate so many lanes to slower swimmers in warm up. Last year there were about 4 end lanes out of the total 16 lanes dedicated to the slowest older swimmers. That's 25% of the entire warmup space !
We need a better way to keep the slow people in the slow lanes and the faster people in the faster lanes during warm up. Warm up turns worthless after the first 10 minutes.

Peter,
Truth be told, thanks to Johns sage advise in training last year I was able to go over to the "dark side" and sprint a bit......something that I don't consider natural.
Part of that training which John purposely left out was "tactical" tips" (something I haven't seen Ande write about yet) that would include:
- grabbing, kicking, holding underwater, etc. all taught to me by John who then conplains when I use them on him.
- attaching a water ski rope, which came in very handy every time John "the Evil Rabbit" Smith led me out in a race.
- last but not least, was to make every atttempt to offend all other swimmers in any way possible, preferably in a public forum. I've had a bit of a hard time grasping this concept as well as JS however!
