Swim Rant

I'll go against the grain. I will occasionally change the sets up that I am given b/c they are are geared for distance swimmers. So we get sets like 4x300's or 8x200's....... so I cut 50-100 off and go 25 or 50 sprints with recovery 100's......and warn lane mates and then go out of my way to stay out of their way....then they complain or try to hit me on flip turns even though I am totally pressed out of the way for them to pass so I can recover. Also the people that give me crap for using fins, even when not instructed. Look, I have crappy shoulders, so using fins helps relieve that stress. Coaches that say "We'll be leaving on the top...." and the clock reads :56 I had one coach that would assign a set like 150's on the 2:15......then tell us to leave on the :23 or something crazy.
