What's the proper lane etiquette for the following scenario:
You're swimming during common lap swim with two other people who are your speed. The three of you are doing a set workout on specific intervals. You arrived early so you could get a lane. Most other lanes have 2 people in them and are being split.
A fourth person who you do not know (but have seen swim before) wants to join your lane since the other lanes are filled with non-competitive swimmer types. This person is quite a bit faster than the three of you are. The three of you still want to do your workout.
Do you:
a) abandon the workout in order to stay out of this faster guy's way
b) tell him he's welcome to join the workout but that he can lead since he's faster (but you still pick the interval)
c) tell him he's welcome to join the workout, and try to keep up with him in vain when he swims intervals that are impossible for you to keep.

Hey Jim! How are things? posted by scyfreestyler
things are going pretty well actually....I hope the same is true for you. Your daughter is sooooo cute Matt! She also sounds pretty tough to tolerate the cold temps and bad weather at that swim meet you posted the pics for. I'm glad to see more of your postings lately....We missed your wit and humor.
o.k. now back to the regularly scheduled thread topic...I opt for plan B or C. I kind of see Okaban's point about having a faster swimmer in my lane to push me (thus my liking of plan C). I have been training with this 16 year old speedster lately and it has really helped me. Those kids have incredible engines on them!! I think mine is in bad need of a major overhaul though!...LOL!!
