Swim Rant

Geeezzz What a bunch of whiney prima donna’s. You guys sound worse than my 2 year old. My lane…MY lane MY LANE! News flash your $3 does not entitle you to “ownership” of 1/8 of a public pool. What part of public don’t you understand? If sharing is so repugnant to you then rent the whole facility or better yet go build your own pool. Then you can have the whole place to yourself. Some of you actually are looking to intentionally hurt others? Man, that’s not only childish it’s criminal. If there people swimming in the pool who are not following pool rules, then ask the pool management staff to enforce their rules. And let me get this straight, this is Masters Swimming, where the first objective is to encourage and promote improved physical fitness and health in adults. Many adults engage in water aerobics to improve their physical fitness and health. So is the objective to only encourage these people as long as they stay away from YOUR pool? And heaven forbid swim lessons occur in YOUR pool, this could only serve to encourage more people to take up swimming as a life style choice and encroach on YOUR lane. One more new flash… fast is relative. If you swim your 50 in under 20 seconds you are fast. Anything over that and there is a group of swimmers out there who would be able to call you slow. If you are having problems with other swimmers in a public pool, try communications or get the pool management involved. But at the very least could you try to act like adults? The Noodler brings up some worthwhile points.
