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.
Haven't done this yet. The club pool I practice in uses a 4" wide lane line that goes all the way up the wall and the bottom corner is curved. This gives the swimmer no other option than to sight for the wall:afraid:. I usually end up turning too early contacting the wall with legs extended.
