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 have never seen any of our senior team using paddles, fins, or pull buoys. Come to think of it, I don't recall them using kick boards very often either...rarely I suppose.
As for the avatar, that was the younger of the two kiddos trying to mimic me at a swim meet this summer. She's a real card that kid.
Awww... I guess she takes after her Dad! How old is that one? Is she going to be a swimmer like big sis? I don't think my 6 year will be ... I think I'm one for three on USS swimming -- which of course is fine.
My one swimming daughter doesn't use equipment too much either. I think that's better. All her coaches have had shoulder injuries and they are acutely aware of issues relating to that. Their "kicking" lane is not really a lane per se, and definitely does not involve kickboards. Since I'm "generally" an equipment hater, she's used to hearing my views as well.
