Everyone knows at least one person who does something in practice that gets you rattled. But who is the worst person to practice with? So begins the countdown of the top 18 worst types of swimmers to practice with:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>18. The Staller<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They take forever to get in the pool. Why? Perhaps they\u2019re legitimately having some last-minute suit or goggle issues. Or, they\u2019re trying to skip as much of warmup as possible.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>17.

If not, there are a hundreds of tutorials on how to put on a cap.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>16. The One Who Proceeds to Sprint Warmup<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pool is cold, you\u2019re feeling out-of-it, but you want to survive swim practice. Typically, the best way to get prepared is by getting your heart rate up. Yet there\u2019s still that swimmer who immediately thinks that means sprint time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, not yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>15.
