That's absolutely ridiculous. If you are in a pool designed for swimming laps, then sure - you rely on the black line and/or the rope.
If you're swimming laps from the boat to the raft, there's no lines. You just look up every once in awhile to make sure you're still heading toward the raft.
Goof freaking grief some of you people overthink stupid little details. We're not Olympians practicing for a competition. We're just starting at one end of the pool and heading toward the other end.
