Equipment Rep
Trains with every piece of equipment available at all times.
The Luddite
Trains with nothing. Only uses a loin cloth and goggles in workout.
The Barnacle
Leaves right on your feet. Couldn't count to five or ten if his life depnded on it.
The Coach
Not an actual coach, but someone who is consumed with technique. Swimming is a precise set of moves that can be broken down, categorized, and scientifically analyzed.
The Jaded
Could care less about technique. Just wants to swim and leave the analysis to the eggheads.
The Swimaholic
Trains at least 10 swimming workouts a week. Anything less is viewed as not trying.
Fast Guy who Never Trains
Shows up once a month and breaks national records in practice.
Hardest Working Man in the Swim Business
Trains like a ferocious animal in workout, but has no speed when it comes to racing.
Lane Guy
Works out in a lane that is far too fast or slow for him.
The Crack Guy
Dude, pull your swimsuit up or get a bigger size.
The Newbie
Shows up to practice in board shorts and a scuba mask.

As for myself, I would fall into the categories of Luddite and Jaded. Also, I wrote this from a male perspective, but the women are included as well. Any other stereotypes?
Just so you know, if The Voyeur has a Y chromosome and his brain tissues were exposed to a normal level of testosterone during gestation, he is looking at er,.....other things.
The Lecherous Explainer
Oh my friend, the voyeur can absolutely have two X chromosomes. You underestimate the female gender.
. . . he might be temporarily interested in your technique.
The Lecherous Explainer
There are good enough swimmers out there in which some are enchanted by technique - both good and bad!
You know the refractory period is at an end, however, when he asks if you mind his swimming right behind you to better study the nuances of your *** stroke kick.
The Lecherous Explainer
Ugh! I've had this happen! 40+ year old ex NCAA Div I swimmer INSISTS pm going right behind me (say 1 second back) during LCM IM set at 5:45 AM. :bitching: Just call me the unsuspecting, chaste, unsullied, naive, cream-puff-pushover. After that set. . . never again!
