I'm really baffled by some of you "lap-swimmers" who don't understand basic practical common sense.

Which way do you turn your head? Are you able to turn your head all the way around to see behind you while lying on your back in the water? WOW. If you can, I'm jealous!!!!
Turning my head to the side while swimming back stroke doesn't help me with my position unless there are lane dividers (such as in the sports pools) which change color as I approach the end of the lane. Neighborhood pools do not have lane dividers so that visual assist is non existent. The flags over head in a sports pool are even better because turning my head to the side is not necessary.
I may lack common sense but not when it comes to swimming laps.
