It's kindof annoying when people stop me to ask why i'm so fast, then prod or almost insist on me telling them what they're doing wrong to be so slow. I'm there working out on a tight schedule, so no, I don't even have the 3 minutes to give you lessons with. It'd be one thing if I really noticed something about someone's stroke and want to quick mention it during my rest interval. Perhaps I should be flattered but I'm not. 3 minutes of explanation is 200 less meters I can swim on my already short workout schedule. I don't get why people can't ask that stuff once I get out of the pool and head to the locker room?
Would it be too snarky to say that you're so fast because you don't spend your time in the pool hanging on the wall chatting? ;)
