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?

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. While the kids' enthusiasm is great, shouldn't the lifeguard on duty have checked with you first before these kids started practising? It seems to me that someone should have explained to them about pool etiquette. Actually, they could have timed their practising according to your place in the pool, i.e., when you were at the far end of the pool. But again, that's just my $0.05 worth (adjusted for inflation :D).
