So last night the last 2 lanes that are reserved for lap swimming were busier than usual. 1 lane had a HS kid doing a workout and then some rather large fella just slowly swimming. They had divided the lane into 2 and each staying on their side. No biggie.
The other lane had 3 people in it and all looked like swimmers and had been around the block. They were circle swimming. I hopped in the lane and started my 600 yd warm up. After I finished I stayed in the lane at one end to catch my breath and moved to the inside corner nearest corner of the base and lane wall. I did so thinking this would allow the remaining swimmers to drift to the center to do their flip turns and then push out and go back to the right side of the lane. Apparently I did this wrong... as I swam down to the other end I notice all 3 of the swimmers are at one end and pointing at me and obviously talking about me. Then the woman hops out of the lane and goes into the other lane and gives me the stink eye the entire time... and so does her husband/boyfriend.
Was I out of line by going to the corner and getting "small"???

Well the thing is it was obvious the one guy big fella was going to hamper anyone swimming in that lane. the other guy was doing obvious speed sets so I figured you know... why bother then as this lane the people are grabbing the wall after sets and talking and swimming at a fairly slow pace. I think the hubbie/wife were triathlon people judging by their builds.
Oh well. I'll just sweep the leg next time.
