I am talking about the kids that are not swimming laps. Just swimming for fun across all the lanes, etc.
The lifeguards at my Y are pretty worthless.
hmmmm.... I used to deal with them by just swimming a lot swifter than they think you are when they are say cutting across the lane......when there is an almighty collision (that you are prepared for ;)) ......you act very apologetic & hope that their parent then tells them to keep out of the way
When I was coaching an age-group team at a local Y & we had smartass footballers hanging about & placing things over the lane ropes, I would quickly give my lot a set of 12.5m or 25m Fly sprints & 'allow' them to swim with clenched fists on the recovery :woot:I did have conerns about their shoulders ( RC ) though if they were to have an impact. :sad:
