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'd love it if my folks swam with me, but my mom is sensitive about her weight and wearing a swimsuit, especially in public. My dad's knees are shot (cartilage is completely worn out) and he had his shoulder operated on, plus a lower back injury, so swimming would be painful for him.
As for the Hydrobics Classes:
I swim at the University here in town, which has two 25 yard pools. One for lap swimming, which starts at four feet and ends at 12 feet, the other is for stuff like the Hydrobics Classes, since it's four feet throughout, so I really don't have any problems with the Hydrobics Classes one bit.
Today is another story, I went swimming and two boys ranging between 8 and 10 STOLE my lap lane WHILE I WAS SWIMMING! They were practicing their "Starts" and I just got out until another lane was available. I wouldn't want to be paralyzed by a hyper-active kid, who is practicing on his starts.
