Fins Are For Fish

When I am swimming laps in the pool at the gym, I pace myself against the swimmer in the adjacent lane, and I am a decent swimmer so unless the person is excellent, I can usually  keep up with them, but nothing is more annoying than struggling to catch up with a swimmer that appears to be swimming at a leisurely pace, only to find that that they are wearing fins . . . I feel like these people need to wear little flags on their goggles that protrude above the water and read "I Cheat," so that you know they are swimming faster than they normally can.

    wearing fins not cheating dave...do your entire routine with fins (shorter ones), kick just a touch harder than you normally do, and see how you feel at the end...maybe YOU'RE the one cheating

    What does having an extra-marital affair have to do with wearing fins?

    i will never resort to wearing fins and/or using a jet-ski to do laps in the pool!

    I find that running laps around the pool deck while people are swimming does wonders for my self esteem.
