Just saw this news story:

It's so true. Some mornings I try swimming with my eyes closed, and I can't go more than three strokes without hitting the lane line. But according to the article, no one knows why this is the case. And makes me all the more impressed with blind people who get around just fine.
This gets my vote for the dumbest workout idea,beating the previous winner,the Auburn sprint til you puke workout.
Notice how he jammed his turn,he was very close to smashing his heals.He glided the finish which was wise,but certainly not a great race.
I sometimes swim with my eyes closed as a drill my stroke count,but I can open them any time and don't have a coach I am trying to please watching.
The Auburn thing was a big joke they put on specifically for floswimming...it wasn't a real set that they do. Auburn admitted as much.
It does seem surprising a coach would risk something like that, but it's really no different than knowing your stroke count from the backstroke flags. Extended out a bit, but with enough practice, the risk is presumably minimal.
