I've only done it a couple times, and unfortunately tonight was one of them. I was being a little sloppy on a turrn and my heels smacked the top of the gutter. Nothing broken but I'll probably have a good bruise. Add this to lanelines (the plastic floats can be sharp when broken) and hand collisions with other swimmers to the list of hazards.

No, but I'm going to think about this while I swim this morning. Ouch! (Form my ass, I'm just avoiding the walls/lane lines/other swimmers...)
