Subject: crowded poolsJust bitching... there's a YMCA right across the street from my apartment, but there's always at least 5 or more people per lane. This bugs me because I'm too fast for the "Medium" lane (I'm often on somebody's heels when I'm doing the breast stroke ), and too slow for the "Fast" lane (keeping pace tires me out too quickly ). So since I can't really train properly there, I end up travelling 60min or so (return ) to go to the Olympic Stadium where I can almost always get half a lane to myself.
Is there a stigma against the slow lane? I went to the YMCA today and I was faster on a kick board then one guy swimming freestyle.
