I'm on the swim team and there is this semi nice girl in my lane. She thinks she's faster than me and goes ahead of me. She can swim, I'll give her that, but she can't swim infront of me. She really is slower than me. I ask her at ever practice if I can go head of her, and she says she faster, when I have to stop at every end of the pool, wait for her to do her turn, then go, and I still run into her! I passed her last night, beat her by a pool lengh and when we finished, she cut infront of me in line! I don't want to be rude, but I'm willing to not go to practice because of this. What should I do??

By the way, I'm a girl, my avatar is a boy, because I tried to make it look like AJ McLean (my name is AJMCLEAN rocksmysocks)

i think you should talk to the coach since talking with her is not getting anywhere. If it is making you not want to go to practice then its become a problem. Just explain to the coach what is happening and tell them you are not trying to be rude. I think explaining your situation to the powers that be will help. (or the girl just likes you.)

Ask her to race you. This will determine once and for all who is faster. The winner should have the priv. of swimming ahead of the other during all practices. If you put it this way, eventhough you know the outcome, she won't get so defensive.

Talk to your coach about it. It's the only way to solve the problem without being rude.

Not going to practice is dorky! Isn't there a coach or something you can discuss this with? Ask the girl - Hey, can I go first today?
