How Cheaters Cheat in practice and meets might stir up a lively discussion.
Here's the RULES

How do cheaters cheat?
Got any stories?
Did they get caught or get away with it?
If you see someone cheating or know they are
do you point it out to the ref or keep quiet?
I come off the wall on my back,do a dolphin kick,then do a BR pullout,then take 4 more BR strokes(regular stroke,except underwater on my back) and then surface(and slow down,my BK is bad.I swam a 200 BK LCM once and I had to make sure the timers had calendar watches.)
Tried this out this morning. First time, I nearly drowned. All sorts of water up my nose. The next time, it went better. The problem was that as soon as I surfaced, the brakes came on before I could get my first stroke in. The plus side was that I got a full 10 meters in before I had to do a stroke :). I see some benefit here if I can transition from upside down *** stroke to back stroke a little smoother. I'm swimming a 200 backstroke in a meet this weekend right before 50 ***. I'm not taking the 200 back too seriously so I wonder if this might be a good warm-up for my next event.
