I have two rants.
Had a woman the other in the pool point directly at a fellow swimmer and say "stop splashing." Guess what, she was a noodler.
Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly! The more untidy your strokes is the better!
I love the over shoulder ldirty ooks from the "float and talk" class with their beautiful, dry, styled hair, when I do 50's or 25s of fly. Spurs me on for an extra rep.
It's a pool it has water in it...
They seem to not mind hooking the dumblells on the lane line so they are on my peripheral vision as I swim. I've either pulled up panicking that I'm about to collide with someone that has gotten into the lane or hit my fingers on them (if sharing the lane).
Now I do a nice long underwater pullout and pop up where the dumbells are and push them back into the area they have for their class. I've seen a mother and toddler been told to get out of the other end of the pool b/c it's reserved for the "float and talk" class. Hooking dumbells on the lane line (on my side) is lazy... I feel like telling them "put them on deck and actually use your legs and arms in some rudimentary stroke to get them when needed"...they'd soon moan if I hooked my fins and stuff in their area.
