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?

Don't talk to me about open lap swims- I remember swimming in a C. London pool, where kids used to hang on the lane line and kick the lap swimmers... People would get mad, if I splashed them and got their hair wet. That's when I decided to join a team, so that I could swim with those who wanted to train.
To those complaining about the waves that the noodlers make: Have you ever swam during a practice, either age group or USMS? It's like swimming in a dishwasher, but it's part of the game. What about open water swimming? That's pretty rough...
The rough water will make you a better swimmer- it's all part of the process.
BTW- Yes, noodlers have a right to pool time... Last time I checked, they pay pool fees, too, which helps the USMS swimmers.
It's up to us as competitive swimmers to set our own courses and workouts.
peace...
