Just wondering how many swimmers most of you share a lane with during masters workouts. People around here are starting to get indignant when they have to share a lane with someone else during a masters workout. I don't understand it. I was wondering if this is a national phenomenon.
On a tangent I see lots of comments about arguing over or getting to go first as if everyone wants to lead. Is that the case for most people? I know certainly in my lane (the fastest lane usually) at our workouts it's always a big fight over who HAS to lead. Once the main set comes up the excuses start flowing, and everyone has one. "My shoulder is stiff", "I was out of the water last week", "I want to work on my stroke", "I'm feeling really tired today". We tend to fight over who gets to go last. All of us are standing under the flags, no one wanting to take the wall.
LOL!!!
Are you observing our practices??? That happens all the time. My view is I will lead anything 50 or less unless it's breaststroke. I can sometimes be convinced to lead 100 Free descend sets and you need to put a gun to my head to get me to lead anything 200 or longer.
