    When six people are in the fast lane, and five around swimming 1:10 base pace and one (me) is swimming 1:30 base phase, don't get in and kick........

    ..... or breaststroke. one time i swam so hard into the back of a woman who magically appeared from nowhere that she thought i deliberately assaulted her. i was in as much shock as her.

    Paddles tend to sort issues like this and above out instantaneously.

    This is my favourite type of rant - could go on all day about this. Luckily at my pool the lifeguard/coach is really active at pulling people out of the lanes they don't belong in. Otherwise, I'm not sure I could account for my behaviour! :p

    The other thing is people who are clearly slower than you who push off right in front of you (or wait at the wall until you are close to a turn and then push off), even though they really should let you pass them.

    Sorry to hijack the rant thread.. but what's 1:30 base pace vs. 1:10? I dont have the swimming lingo down yet :D

    The 1:10 swimmers will be going at a much faster pace than the 1:30's...this sounds like a 25m pool situation too? Those are usually crowded.

    50m pool, can happily co-exist.
