Why do you keep pushing off in front of me? It's not like this is the first time we've ever shared a lane. Is it because I'm a woman? Or are you just totally oblivious to your surroundings?

There are so many people trying to book (many who aren’t regular swimmers) and there’s no lane etiquette at all. I’ve also had it from better swimmers than me which is even more frustrating - one swam over me last week 😳😡]

Someone once swam under me at wapping pool when I was too slow, that has made me ultra cautious about setting off until I know everyone faster has gone]
