slackers-swimmers who leave after the 30 minute mark of a 2 hour practice. These species is more prevalent at age group programs where the coaches might look the other way at that. The choice destination after the 30 minute mark is the locker room or the local pizza joint. Oh, if there is a ice cream parlor nearby, they will be there too. The odd thing is that they still look like they did the 2 hours practice by their skinny build.
"Slacker, it has been 30 minutes, isn't it time for your 90 minute shower."
wall huggers-swimmers who stand at the wall and getting in the way of turns. They are really annoying when they pull that crap during an IM set.
"Move, you freaking wall hugger!"

"You were such an animal in your 1500."
