Has anyone ever thrown up while swimming in a race (or, hypothetically, the 10K postal toward the end), halfway down the lane, and, if so, what did you do?
Um, I'll just hypothetically say I had to do a puke/swallow keeping mouth shut thus ensuring no vileness entered pool and then stopped at other end of pool and drank a lot of water and then hypothetically hoped it would not happen again, hypothetically.
Then I was wondering, hypothetically, if one pukes while swimming in a race but does not cause puke to go in pool and thus ruin entire meet or cause entire facility to be shut down, but does a hypothetical puke/swallow followed by water and amnesia, does this mean one is now a real athlete? Is this a common thing swimmers pushing themselves hard run up against midpool during exertion for long distance swims? Even the 1000 free has felt close to this level of hypothetical situation for me.

Congrats on your (hypothetical or not) swim!
Never felt nausea in a pool, but got pretty seasick in the last mile or so of a 5mile open water swim--In that instance, I saw no swimmers near my except at the very end of the race--by which time I'd lost most of whatever was inside me. So I must admit I didn't worry too much about other swimmers, but did hope that fish could use and appreciate the extra "chum" I was providing for them (no sharks to be worried about). (Interestingly, one day while walking in the city, I saw a couple birds gathered near where someone had tossed ... and the birds were picking out what was edible. Not to gross anyone out or anything like that, heaven forbid!) :shakeshead:
