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.
I have been barely wet for 4 months because of a shoulder injury and not even near a pool for 3 weeks, and the first time I get back into workout (with up to 7 per lane LCM), they all look at me to go first. So I do. And they mostly do not want to pass me, they just drag off of my wake. The lane does have honor, though. If someone has led and is gassed out (that would be me), someone else will take the lead after a reasonable whining period and arguing who is worse at (insert stroke and/or distance here).
