AT LAST A FLAME WITH WHICH  I  CAN  IDENTIFY!  At  first  I  looked
forward   to   passing  (and  showing-up)  the  slow  pokes  as  an
opportunity to add variety  to  an  otherwise  paced  (and  boring)
regime.   That  is,  until  I had a few head-ons with people in the
other lane doing the same thing. But what really, really  makes  me
mad  are the ding-dongs that get into the medium speed lane, swim a
few laps as fast as they can, and then get out. What's the point?

Swimming in circles is a dumb idea any way. Now I swim on days when
the  pool  isn't crowded enough to require swimming in circles, and
run or lift weights on the other days. As a result my swimming  has
improved  and I have fewer bruises (there are still few people that
can't tell difference between clockwise and counterclockwise).
