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?

I hear you! In my pool they lean on the lane lines so they are half into my lane (especially difficult if I am sharing the lane) and they will hang their "toys" (those weight things and those noodle things) on the lane line so that they encroach on my lane. There is also the matter of their perfume wafting over into my lane (gag!). There is even the occasional one who will actually stand in my lane (a bit of butterfly usually alleviates this problem).
