I've come across scenarios multiple times where a swimmer/cyclist has such poor form that it hurts my eyes and I have to exercise extreme self-restraint in order to prevent myself from running over and saying "NO NO NO your're doing it all WRONG!"
There are many examples (see below) but how do you approach these people? Do you scoff at their amateurishness in your own head or do you try and work it into a friendly conversation? Has anyone told you where to stick your "friendly advice" when you tried?
Possible scenarios:
1. the cyclist with the ridiculously low saddle (could even be a guy commuting to work)
2. The cyclist with a helmet so positioned that they'd probably be better without it (I especially like the top-left one image)
3. The swimmer who's trying so hard and going nowhere because of a simple issue like crossing his arms on the pull...
4. I saw another swimmer yesterday who's hand was at 90degrees to her arms (fingers pointing at the pool floor) when it entered the water, creating unnecessary drag.
