Does anyone know if there are any rules on pacing? I tried to find information on it but couldn't. The question was raised at our meet yesturday when one of the swimmers had someone swim next to her just to pace her on her 500. Is this legal?

I see your point, but on the other hand this swimmer still had to swim the race and keep up with the other swimmer who was pacing her. To me it's fair. On the other hand I think everyone should learn how to swim their own race.
Isn't part of swimming long distance is being able to pace yourself?
