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.

Gosh, you all have me on this one. I thought the only way to cheat while working out would be to make a U-turn before the turn thereby avoiding it entirely and passing up everyone in your lane. I did that a couple of times when I swam for San Mateo Masters Marlins in California. I did it because I got tired of swimming behind a slow person.
Hey, fins are cheating; they have a wonderful purpose; they get your heartrate up, they strenthen your legs and they help to keep you more buoyant de-stressing shoulders!!!
