How Cheaters Cheat in practice and meets might stir up a lively discussion.
Here's the RULES
Swimming 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?
This thread could be about drugs but there's many other ways to cheat besides drugs.
Like a few years back I heard of a masters swimmer who broke an IM WR.
In the race this swimmer did a freestyle turn on the bk to br turn.
Just rolled over on stomach, hand never hit the wall & swimmer wasn't DQed.
I think this thread should be focused more on cheating in meets,
everybody cheats in practice and nobody gets deeked.
thought it might be fun to discuss how cheaters cheat &
I hope folks avoid personal attacks.
Also there's intentional cheating and unintentional cheating.
Intentional is doing something on purpose.
like taking performance enhancing drugs or sneaking in extra dolphin kicks on breastroke.
Unintentional is unplanned.
like leaving early on a relay because a teammate messed up their touch.
I thought this thread would be about drugs, not what swimmers do in masters perogative practices. :bolt:
