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?
My my my... The perception of noodlers here is quite funny. There's probably a water aerobics site somewhere that complains about all those stupid lap swimmers. The fact is, they pay as much as we do to be there.
They do pay as much. But if you figure you are paying for half a lane (no one circle swims at my pool), noodlers are often getting more than their fair share. Noodlers either get their own lanes or force real swimmers to modify their workouts because they are often either flailing about with arms and legs akimbo or are, sorry to say it, overly large.
