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.
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.

Exactly what arm movement was the coach trying to get right? Backstroke involves some shoulder roll and a much deeper placement of the forearm pull than the three inches (max) of depth you would get in a lane line pull.
