The Sprint Free Lane
If you could be a sprinter, you would.
We get more rest.
We don't train as far but we go faster.
Every move matters.
We're fast twitch. We're strong. We're fierce.
It's adrenalin
We get the glory
50's & 100's are our thing, we wish we could race 25's & 75's, we think of 200's as distance & tend to split longer races quite badly because we have no sense of pace. But it proves to ourselves, our coaches & friends that we have absolutely no business in any race over a 100.

I bet there is some insurance reason why there isn't usually any diving block training available during masters swimming.
I can't remember the last time I've swum at a masters practice when the coach specifically said that using blocks wasn't allowed. Nearly every masters team I've ever swum with has blocks available.
Now getting swimmers to actually use the blocks is the problem. The coach usually has to coax them (and me) out of the pool, especially when it is cold outside.
Even when I swim at a local city pool during lap swim that has blocks, I've nicely asked the lifeguards, and been able to use them.
