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....

You know most of us are just venting our frustrations, Phil.
I agree that some of us probably shouldn't be swimming in a public lap swim. I certainly don't except in unusual circumstances, but hey we've got no more or less right to be there than anyone else whether it be kids, the "barge," sweaty guy or whoever.:)
