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.
I think just about everyone has misjudged a turn at some point and hit their heels. Fortunately, I haven't done it since I swam in high school and I grazed my heels more than smacked them, but we had people who did real damage on a misjudged turn.
