Cheating at practice?

Are there masters swimmers "cheating" at practice? Like: Leaving early? One handed touches on ***/fly? Using pull buoys? Kicking whatever they want despite what the workout says? Swimming free on designated "stroke" sets? Just wondering. I'm heard some grumbling about the leaving early stuff.

    I think you are all wrong to regard such behaviour as 'cheating'. Instead it should be viewed as adapting the circumstances to suit the needs of the individual. Isn't that a far more sensible, mature approach, indicative of masters swimming? Certainly that's why I always get in half way through the warm-up and never swim breaststroke.
