After swimming at the same pool for a year now, I was rudely stopped by the person that I was sharing the lane with and told that I could not use paddles when there were more than one person in the lane. Does anyone else have this same issue?
I was really annoyed! Using paddles is an integral part of a swimming workout.
This is a new one to me, and I've been swimming workouts for almost 30 years. But, I have had run-ins with difficult people. Some I've tried the 'can't we all get along approach' and others pushiness has met my stubbornness.
Best to let it slide first time, but if that person was to try to get in a lane with me again, I'd make sure they know my rules : ). Also may help to double check with the lifeguards or pool manager if there is any such rule.
Favorite pushy story: lady in the lane next to me was annoyed at splashing in butteryfly, told me to stop so I didn't get her hair wet. in a pool : |
