Does anyone know of a lightweight glove that can be worn while swimming? Something like thin cotton gloves, but a material that won't absorb water and be difficult to remove.
When sharing a lane with someone who takes up a lot of room I try to stay close to the lane line out of self-preservation. Occasionally I hit my knuckles on the line, so I usually have a few skinned spots on my hands. I figured gloves might help. So would swimming in a straighter line, but that gets messed up by the other guy's wake.;)
Does anybody else run into this problem?

hey Tom, unless you're allergic, wear the latex, your size. I forgot that the plastic were all one size (really floppy) although they still do work. I don't think the extra warmness of the pool will make any difference. One on each hand is probably enough to soften the contact with the lane line. And yes, concentrate on your thumb-first entry in front of your head, not on your front of face side.
