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....

Posted Pool Rules? Who reads them? Not the ones who have no pool etiquette. I'd fall over in a dead faint if I saw any member of the A/C where I swim take the time to read them. I teach kids' lessons there, too, and you'd be amazed at what I've seen. I watched a women "teach" (a stretch of the imagination here) her grandchildren to get used to the deep end of the pool by letting them hang on the coping on the side of pool and pull themselves down from shallow to deep end. And, they could not swim. I asked her if the kids could pass a swim test and with a 'tude, she told me they could. Hmmm. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there's a new phenom in the pool and it's not Michael Phelps, it's pool rage. My 1/2 cents' worth.
Aquageek, I can top the grossness of the guy and his using the Suit Mate wringer. There's a man who repeatedly stands in the steam room and shadow boxes in the buff, during which time he's almost completely red from the heat and sweating like a horse. We're waiting to see who volunteers to administer CPR when he has a stroke. Then there's the swimmer who shows up in a suit that's in dire need of replacement and either the tummy is too big or the suit's too small. Yuck.
