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 try very hard not to cheat. Since I am back in the pool for the first time in 4 years I will do some free in place of fly during long IM sets. That is just because I do not have my strength up yet for long yardages of fly. Leaving early on intervals really bugs me. The way I see it is they are there for a reason so pay attention and do the set correctly. But the long and the short of it is I will not say anything to anybody about how they work out. They made an effort to get there and they can swim how they like. If I get fired up it just makes me swim faster and burns some stress.
