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.
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 ...
I agree. When I go to my team practice, I know I'll be super exhausted after because I'll push myself hard. Plus, who wants to be teased for being a whimp? But I guess some people like to socialize. I socialize in the hot tub. ;)
My Sat. practice is tough. I don't usually go. We swim with the college team and the college coach and it's sometimes 6000+ LC. Not everyone stays for the full torture session. At least if I leave early, I'm not disrupting a set or interval.
And, most importantly, I do not disrupt anyone or kick anyone doing butterfrog.
