[quote=Anonymous]Honestly some people never learn lane etiquette and it’s intentional. Way back when I was swimming, there were the jerkface kids who would never, ever lead a set even if they were faster. It was a combination of not wanting to expend the energy to set the pace and count in the set and wanting to look better than they were. So instead of leaving 5 seconds or a flag’s worth of space before the next swimmer, they would leave right on the heels of the next swimmer to get on extra few seconds’ time to make every interval. It doesn’t sound like a big deal, but when you’re doing 10 x 100s or 8 x 200s or something 2-3 seconds per 100 really adds up to a ton more rest and room to slow down. These are the same people that start slapping the other person’s feet as soon as a coach glances over. But they never actually use the energy to pass…just enough energy to get to make themselves look fast. [/quote]
