Funny Moments when swimming

I thought I'd start a new thread and see what gives. This is about funny moments when swimming practice or in a race. I have one that comes to mind. I was swimming a 400 IM (years ago), and was starting the breaststroke leg of it. Right after I made my first turn and surfaced, there was a gal swimming breastrstroke in my lane coming right for me. I thought I had somehow changed lanes on the turn, so I went under the lane lines and got in the empty lane. She had made the mistake, not me, but I ended up getting her time and she got mine. But it made no difference; they DQd both of us. Moral of story: swim in your own lane at all times. Donna

    Leo, I didn't know this rule. But this happened in about 1962. And if that rule was in place, I still messed up big time because I didn't finish in my own lane:shakeshead: That's good to know for anyone this may happen to!!! Donna
