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.
"Pulling on the lane lines" never, ever occurred to me (I'm so new at this). Would you all talk slower, I'm trying to take notes here. ;)
:D Right, you and I both!
That thing about pulling on the lane lines: my first masters' coach had me do that as a backstroke drill for getting the arm movement right. But I was always too self-conscious to try it any other time but in his practices, b/c I was thinking the other swimmers would think I was a few kicks short of a wall. ;) Now that I know this is something ppl actually do at other practices, I can boldly grab the lane line. Or not.
