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....

Well, that's the problem in a nutshell. The guards are officially in charge, so if they don't do anything about the problem, it doesn't get solved.
At two different pools, I've seen somebody who was trying to get their infant used to the water, and even though part of the pool was set aside for open swim, they decided that the appropriate place to do this was in one of the lanes.
At one pool, they just kept doing it. If swimmers complained to them, they just ignored the complaints.
At the other pool, the lifeguard came over instantly and told them to move to the other part of the pool, and the problem was solved.
Swimmers shouldn't have to complain to the guards to get action. The guards should know the rules and enforce them without being asked.
