Normal Swimming Protocol?

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:

    also you can push off the wall underneath the lane line and do your SDK's there. In a crowded situation, that can really come in handy. Best advice ever particularly when you've got 5 to 6 flyers in a lane SCY doing repeats for time going 5 seconds apart. You will be screwed by flailing arms and turbulence if you don't use some major SDK off the walls.
