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:

I'd be in la la land as well if I had your times.
I dunno about that. I admit always being part of the fastest lane, but self-regulation with lane mates seems to work pretty well everywhere I've worked out. Although I only started last May after a 14 year break, I have worked out with masters teams this year at:
South Bay Hawthorne, CA
Menlo Park CA
SCAQ -Santa Monica College
SCAQ - Loyola Marymount
SCAQ -Century City
SCAQ - Echo Park
Conroe School, Woodland, TX
JJ Pearce, Dallas, Texas
SMU - Dallas TX.
Woodhead Pool -Riverside, CA
Las Vegas Masters - Henderson, NV
In every time while traveling, no one knew me or what speed I might be. I knew nobody there, or how fast they might be, but in each case things sorted out just fine quite quickly.
