I tried doing a search in the forums on this and couldn't find anything. I am curious to know how many yards people in Masters are swimming a practice. I swim on average 3000-4000 yards a practice, 3 times a week.

OK...butting in here....here's my .02, for whatever it's worth!
I think there's definitely a fine line between being proud of your times and sharing them with others and then bragging about them and using them to pump up low self esteem and insecurity and to use it as a bashing tool.
There is a particular person who comes to mind who swims at my club...he is almost constantly bragging about not only his times in meets, but his times during timed sets! He'll actually ask everyone around him during a timed set what their times were. What makes this even more annoying is that he sandbags during practices...he refuses to lead on a set (especially a distance set) when he is clearly faster, then swims on your toes.
Grrrrr......:mad:
