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!

What drives me crazy is when they cut through the lanes to go and complain to the lifeguard.
