I think this thread has been hilarious. I usually practice with a team that is exclusively swimmers doing an organized workout while we have the pool. So I don't have a lot of experience with the "noodlers." However, I sometimes swim on Sunday mornings at a city pool that has a workout going on and a water aerobics group in the shallow end on the other side of the bulkhead. Yesterday was the first time I noticed the noodles! So thanks to gull and geek for corrupting me :)
Anyway, they don't bother us, and we don't bother them (I presume), but I do think the term "noodlers" is funny.
