Are the bane of my existance as a solo swimmer. Granted, the class only meets for 1 day out of the 4 days I swim per week. Granted, during my 3,500-4,000yd workout they're only present for about 2-2,500 of it. BUT STILL I can't stand them! And unfortunately the only time I'm able to swim on that particular day is the time during that class. It's like swimming in lake michigan. Sigh. Is anyone else as frustrated as I am?
At my pool, the water aerobics classes are at separate times fr/ the lap swimming period. But I STAY AWAY from the pool during the noon swim hours, b/c that's when the pool is divided between lap lanes and kids' camp. Talk about wave pools! That and the pool toys floating into lap lanes. One of them, thrown around by some kids, landed on a swimmer, who had more inner calm than I would have. She was doing a set, and simply flicked the thing back into the kids' section. Maybe she had a lot of open water practice.... After that one day, I vowed to stick to the early morning lap swim, when all the lanes are for lap swimmers. Granted, there are the folks who do odd little paddling/splashing concoctions in the more workout oriented lanes and such, but at least the chances of being hit by an errant pool toy are vastly reduced.
