has anyone encountered snobs in the pool?i know i have,they come in..say half an hour after you start swimming..then decide that they have your lane..you know they swim directly in your path even though you have swam linearly for 1500metres +...try keeping your path and you end up colliding...sometimes they appologise...sometimes they ignore..i have to change lanes....

    Arent there rules posted in any of your pools? We have a huge sign with the rules. I had this p[roblem with the snorkle bearers too until I started really (clawing) tapping on their feet. At one point I had tu pull a guy back by his flipper and when he got angry I just said I thought he couldnt feel the tapping due to the flipper. Anyway, it also helps if you started getting recognized as the unofficial coach or experience swimmer in the pool. People are always looking for help, etc...and this brings up the opportunity to talk about lane rules, etc... Thats my two cents Dolphinccc
