What do you do if you are slower than the swimmer behind you? What do you do if you are faster than the swimmer in front of you and you see yourself gaining on that swimmer?

If there are any swimmers out there, please share any advice you have for a newbie.
I'm glad you asked this. I would have no idea of "the rules" if I too began lap swimming.
