Bad advice #12:

If you are swimming in a lane full of people, make sure you are the first person, even if you are not the fastest.

If the person behind you tries to pass you, start kicking in their face like a goldfish in a frying pan, and go really fast. Once you are way ahead of them, return to your normal speed. Once they catch up, repeat the process as long as needed, whether the distance is a 100, or a 600 warm up.

Nobody will plot to shove water in your face, and they will admire your athletic prowess.
