Swim Rant

I think this thread is a HOOT !!! Most have covered mine, but I have a couple: Pool temperature too hot (I get out and leave) Drafting: when a person in the draft line cuts over in front of the lead swimmer mid-pool and takes the lead themself, then stops at the wall and proceeds to go to the back of the line. When someone decides to swim butterfly when everyone else is doing freestyle circle style. I had an injury because of this doofus. Right before you make a turn, someone jumps in where you would be turning toward. And they don't swim, they just jumped in. Swimmers in the wrong-speed lanes; wrecks my sets. People in medium-fast lanes who decide to hang on the wall--can't they move to the outside lanes? People who blow snot in the gutter and miss. People who you have tagged on the foot and at the wall they don't let you pass, they keep swimming slow. And, because I am one of these, no backstroke flags!!! Donna
