Etiquette

Hello, I have a question regarding etiquette when sharing/splitting a lane that is against the wall (with the ladders). Today a woman wanted to share my lane with me but was perturbed when I told her that I wanted the pool side of the lane. It is my feeling that if I am in the lane first I get to decide what side I want, either the wall side or the pool side. Is there a general rule or some type of etiquette that I am not aware of?

  • You did the right thing. However, if you do ever find yourself in that situation again (where the other person is not being polite), I always find that some fast 25s butterfly tends to ward off lane interlopers. Butterfly is to noodlers (or lap swimmers who don't know how to share lane-space or circle properly) as garlic is to vampires
