I'm sure most of us have had conflicts at the pool during rec swim when non-swimmers who are unfamiliar with swimming etiquette jump in and mess things up. In fact, the latest Swimmer magazine dealt with that very issue.
What I'm wondering is what is the best way to handle the situation when a head-up breaststroke only lady (or gentleman) complains to me or the lifeguard that I'm splashing too much while swimming laps, or that I'm making big waves that disrupt her swimming.
Any advice on this? Clearly she has as much a right to be there as I do, but it's a pool, geeze! Pools are wet!
gosh you being are so insensitive to her needs
i think you should apologize immediately

actually
I think she's being ridiculous
Next time you have the pleasure of sharing a lane with her
maybe you should do a few perfectly timed all out 25's from a dive to show her what what real splashes and waves are all about
maybe she won't get in your lane
