Cheating at practice?

Are there masters swimmers "cheating" at practice? I am a cheater. I did all of the following yesterday... One handed touches on ***/fly? I try not to since I don't want to accidentally do it in my 400 IM that is hopefully going to be under 5:00 at Zones but it did happen on fly yesterday. Kicking whatever they want despite what the workout says? I always just do flutter kick on my back. Yesterday we did 12 x 75 kick (25 fly on back, 25 flutter on back, 25 choice---I think!?!?) and I did it all flutter kick on my back. Swimming free on designated "stroke" sets? Not exactly, but I do skip fly or *** every once in a while in IM sets. Again, not so good considering my goals. Pulling on the lane line on backstroke? Guilty. I did it yesterday once or twice. As for leaving early, do you mean people who go just a second before the interval? Drives me nuts when I'm going on the same intervals as the lane next to me and I'm about their same speed and they leave early. It stinks to start off a second behind. I don't have any good excuses as to why I am a cheater. I'm going to make a good effort this week to not cheat...or at least not pull on the lane line. Some of these things though are resulting from the back pain I have been experincing the last few weeks so in an attempt to not make it worse, I bailed on the fly and *** and dolphin kick stuff. When I was coaching one night, I gave a set of 200 IMs and watched as almost every single person did one hand touches. After the set everyone was ready to warm down and I made them do one more 200 IM with legal turns, breaststroke kicks, etc. and told them that if I saw anyone cheating that they would have to do it again. It was fun to watch everyone be so diligent about their turns!!! I knew I was a cheater when I was 4 years old. I cheated at pin the tail on the donkey (lifted up the blindfold a little and put the tail right in the right spot) and when my parents told me that I didn't win because I had cheated I threw a tantrum and they had to call all of the parents to come pick up their kids.
