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....

To those of you who think I'm just complaining, in a little way it is frustrating to swim in this situation. It is also a safety concern. I work with kids everyday and would not like to hurt them. I was also a lifeguard and pool manager myself and would never let these things go on in my pool. A lot of people may not like the rules but no one ever got serously hurt at any of the pools I worked at either.
As for those of you saying I should go to another pool that really isn't an option for me without going 45min away. I just don't have the time. This pool has made it easy for me to go and work out and if I would have to go farther I don't think I would swim at all.
I swim because I enjoy it and its a great way to stay in shape. All I would like is for others in the pool to have consideration for others and to be safe so we can all enjoy the pool no matter what we are there for. I don't think there is anything wrong with that.
