i swim in the medium to slower lanes at a very competitive masters team workouts in san diego, and am usually asked to slide down to slower lanes when the equal ability swimmers (vs triathletes) show up.
the funny thing is most of these swimmers use a pull bouy or fins for the WHOLE workout. i think it's a ego thing in la-la land.
i would like to swim with people who can push me harder, instead of down in the last slowest lane. should i just chalk it up to normal swimmers protocal? or find another team? :confused:
Since we have a large pool we rarely have more than 2 per lane and it is very well organized. People tend to migrate towards the lane with the right speed. Equipment users on non equipment sets are very courteous and typically use equip to keep up. I've only ever known of one problem and it was a doozy and pretty uncomfortable, an equipment user who basically lost his cool and went all noodly on a fellow swimmer.
