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?

The wateraerobics classes have as much right in the pool as master swimmers.

I agree that they do have a right to the pool for sure, however, as in previous threads, they need to have some common courtesy and at least stay well in their designated workout area. We have the same problem with our workouts on Saturday Mornings.
The two lap lanes next to us in the deep end get used for water aerobics, and there are probably regularly 5-8 people in the class. We are a small club using only 2-3 lanes depending on however many show up that day. The women in the class constantly lean up against the lane line, sometimes using their head to hold themselves up (how this is aerobic exercise is beyond me), and allow their legs and lower body to dangle around in our lanes.
Now 5-8 people doing aerobics should have no problem utilizing 2 lanes in the deep end without encroaching on lanes where someone is working out. It is common courtesy, and common sense to keep your body parts out of the lane where someone is swimming! These are adults and they should know that, and if they don't then the instructor should advise them to kindly get out of the way.
Lainey, I'm sorry to hear about your dad.
