Half a length!
Am I right in guessing that you have muddled up different lengths? When you say swim half-a-length behind you really mean half a body-length, not half a length of the pool. I know that feeling so well, just last week in the pool I noticed the guy in the lane next to me doing the half body-length thing. Guessed what was up and so just let mine respond and thrust itself sideways up to the cord of my Speedo! You know that narrow gap that you get in the front when the cord pulls tight from hip to hip? I could feel it was pushing up just there. It was not at half-length, but stretched to full length! This was enough to keep him in position and swimming alongside me for the last section of my training. Was a bit like having a puppy dog, but it felt good to feel noticed. Had to rush off afterwards, so did not get a good look at his face, but his suit was distinctive enough with a white pattern down the one side, am sure he will be back. I hope so. Was this you?
