In running, front running is a perfectly acceptable racing tactic. It could actually be utilizing a strength. Is it the same in swimming? It seems like I've read a lot about negative splitting and pacing. Does anyone here front run? (I think I've seen Kate Zeigler employ that strategy ...) Do we have to commit to hurt or is it better to commit to pace? (Sorry if that sounded like a Sex & The City question.)

Some guy, hi. I think you like both running and swimming. So do I.
I think you can do the negative splitting in swimming too (theoretically).
In runnung you can/ in swimming you cannot
see all of your opponents throughout the race
touch them, hear their breath
feel they are exhausted or not
do team tactics (even tricks)
change your pace dramatically
so, in swimming the best swimmer (nearly) always gets the gold.
justice for all swimmers!!!
