What makes you (or makes you want) to stop your swim workout, aside from being tired or feeling hurt?
- Sharing Lanes: Sometimes when I go to share a lane with someone, I'll get in, they'll do another lap, and get out. I feel guilty. I have on a couple occasions gotten out when people want to split lanes with me, especially if they're annoying and touch me/swim into me.
- Team Practices: I don't know why, but if I'm not part of the team practice that's in the pool, I don't want to be there. Maybe I just feel lazy next to them.
- Thinking about food: Food (particularly donuts for some reason) makes me feel sick while swimming. I've thrown up in my mouth on several occasions due to thinking about food while swimming. I love food, I love thinking about food, but not while swimming.
- Little kid swim lessons: The last time i swam next to this I got smacked in the face with an oar to an inflatable boat.
- The creepy middle aged guy that hangs out at the end of my lane to stretch when there are 7 open lanes. Wearing briefs, giant goggles, and covered in hair. Doing odd exercises like thrusting the ground or stretching hs hip flexors widely on the diving blocks. :bolt:
- Broken pace clocks
There's a person that only does aerobic *** swimming. The pool has no gutter and is narrow, he's large so imagine a bucket of water inside a rally car. Anyhow, he blows his nostrils at each end of the length plastering everything with his snot vapor - truly disgusting behavior. Once noticed the deck was slippery near the ledge on the end where he swam.

That's really disgusting! :afraid:
Being circled by a large grey fin whilst open water swimming.
Funny that you mention that. I was just thinking that the posts in this thread threaten to do for pool swimming what the movie Jaws did for OW swimming in the oceans.

Here's what killed my swim workout today: the ADORABLE, 11-month-old Rachel Roddin. Rachel is here with her parents, Jeff and Julie, visiting Grandma and Grandpa. They were all at the pool today and once Rachel got in my workout ended, as I just had to go play with her!
I don't really stop much. This week they decided to pressure wash the deck while I was swimming. With diesel fumes hanging in the air, the attendent sprayed all of the dreck right into the pool while the lifeguard and the aquatic director watched. Then he washed the walls and hosed down my towel for good measure.
I just swam through.
- floating band-aids
- a long hair that gets stuck in my mouth(once it got stuck in the strap of my goggles and was flapping in my face....shutter
- perfumed old women
- stinky people that you somehow can smell underwater that make you gag
- a person literally swimming in his underwear(alternative: shorts)
The grossest thing that made me get out of the pool was this weird guy at a pool in London who looked like a lunatic and had open wounds on his body(didn't really want to look) and he was pressing one wound on his arm like it was a big zit in the locker room.
Next thing I know he's next to me in the pool. That was too disgusting and I left.:eek:
Try to top that:D
