You can show no mercy with kids. I usually tell them once to stay out my lane, if they get in again I will just keep going and not care if I splash, kick or run them over. It works.
I tend to be a bit TI with my front crawl I can't see what's coming...I collided witha young guy doing backstroke. He was a good swimmer, sharing the lane well but just strayed off course. I was concerned I'd hurt him.
Lifeguard offered to toss a kid out of the lane I was waiting on one night (it was adult lap) but he was swimming nicely. So I told her to let him alone. If he was being a goof or such, then yeah I want my lane, but he was working sensibly and I had lots of time to spare.
