Lately I've not been making friends.
I am hitting people during fly. Sometimes it is from another lane since I recover my right arm over the lane line, and sometimes it is a lane mate. I have a 76" reach so I am roughly as wide as a lane.
I try to look and f I see someone I can sometimes do an alligator arm recovery, but this does not always work. People come up fast and you can't always get out of the way.
Is there a trick to this, or is hitting part of the deal?
Sometimes I'll lead so I can at least do a 25 without an issue, but anything over a 25 and I am now paranoid.
At my primary pool we don't circle and I can usually make room to avoid problems. I also train with another group where we are 4-5 per lane and we circle. It is here I run into problems.
Is it poor skills on my part? Is it possible to avoid? I really only get a good look at what's coming every other stroke, but sometimes I just can't time it right or I don't see it coming. Now I am paranoid.
