Swim Rant

My pet hate is the unsupervised delinquents in the locker rooms or the showers. You know how tha shower is the reward for ahard swim...soaping up and stretching out enjoying a warm glow in your muscles...then in come a bunch of pre-teens shouting and having a waterfight or screeching in the shower...etc Yeah! My club pool has a communal shower with 4 shower heads for a lot of kids who finish right before closing as do the Masters. Usually 3 of them will share a showerhead but they don't want an adult sharing with them. The shrieking and the shampoo fights are very annoying too. So I wait until they are all mostly finished and leave the lockerroom, then I have to hurry through before the coaching staff gets mad that I am making them stay late. This gets worse as the kids get closer to their championships meets and are having shorter workouts. They have way too much energy left over after practice.
