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.
FlyQueen:
Youch. I don't skip out on sets or skip a swim. I may miss a 50 very, very occasionally because of a cramp. I skipped the 800 paddle/fin set at my team's practice on Sat. because I had already done 4000. I can't go more. Don't yell at me. Can a babysister yell at their big sis?
But I don't get it, why should you stop just because she is? That makes no sense at all.
No, she actually reached over to my lane and grabbed me to stop me on a backstroke set that she didn't feel like doing it ... I don't like when people just don't feel like swimming a set because they are tired. I only wanted to punch said teammate because she wanted to be lazy and she wanted me to be lazy with her. I didn't want to swim the set either but did anyway.
Skipping out a 50 or 100 from time to time is fine, especially if you get out of your lanemates way. You only hurt yourself when you do that, but my theory is why go to practice if you don't want to work hard?
Fort, injuries are a different thing altogether ...
