Swim Rant

i had a whole bunch of "swimming in a lane with someone that...." statements for rants, but i realized it really boils down to this one rant: I HATE swimming in a lane with other people period. Other people do nothing but get in my way. Whether it's not knowing how to swim, not knowing how to circle swim, not swimming in a straight line, being too slow, being too old, making too many waves, or just not staying the hell out of my way while i'm working hard on my workout. I haven't had to share a lane with someone in the last 6 months, and it's been probably the most enjoyable 6 months I've ever swam. I now do everything I can to ensure I don't need to share a lane. I warm up at the end of warmups when everyone else is in the sprint lanes or drying off. Call me selfish, but it's the only way I'll have it. I don't miss being on a team either. I swim better, faster, and more focused when I dont have to deal with others around me. That's my rant :)
