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.
What's an alligator arm recovery?
Pulling one arm in like a zipper drill and leaving the other arm out. Must look kinda funny.

It sounds like avoiding other swimmers is a learned skill. I am very bad at it. I did watch a college practice a while back and they all did seem to avoid each other.
