How embarrassed do you feel for getting out before the workout is over if you don't feel well? This evening, I was at practice for my new team and I was swimming so poorly that I got bumped down a lane. Then, I began to feel even worse, so finally I just got out at one hour and went home. Now that I feel a bit better, I'm totally mortified for not finishing. Extenuating circumstance: I'm new to this team and am very slow compared to them--normally I swim in lane 2. So I'm always a little embarassed jsut for being slow.

Being hungover is a flimsy reason for getting out or getting in late.
I happened to get into the pool late one day for a Saturday morning practice. Had a pretty bad headache though I was there on time but was kind of incapacitated. Told my teammates I had an awful headache.
On the way to practice I choked down half of a little cinnamon roll, 16 oz water and a Goody Powder for the head.
I stood under a shower of warm water for about ten minutes right next to the pool during warm up.
Felt a little better; missed most of the warm up. I got in and about halfway through the mainset, I was cured. The first few flip turns were nauseating.
Lesson learned? If you have an early moring practice, be careful of how many adult beverages you consume the night before.
