Cheating at practice?

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.

  • Fish - 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. Have to admit it's been a long enough time ago that I don't remember now the underlying purpose. Has anyone else's coach asked him/her to pull the lane line as part of a practice?
