Swim Rant

I swim at my local gym's pool. There are three lanes and a variety of characters that use the pool. My rants are below: 1. People that DO NOT shower before entering the pool. They will come out of the steam room/sauna and jump into the pool. 2. Colonge/perfume...ugh. 3. People "surfing" the lane lines. I am constantly telling people to please do not sit on the lane lines. I've seen lanes lines break when I was in college, and it is not a pretty sight. 4. People wearing ALL of their clothes in the pool. Please people, leave your jeans and T-shirts in your bag and wear a dang swimsuit. It is obvious that you are overweight, but so are 9/10s of the people at the gym. NO ONE CARES!!! We are all there to workout, so please, find a swimsuit!!! 5. And, last but not least, and the most annoying of all: people/parents DUMPING their kids in the pool while they relax in the spa/steam room/sauna. These kids are loud, obnoxious, and can't swim. They dart across all of the lanes playing tag. They are diving when 3 feet of water!!! Yes, I know CPR and basic lifesaving skills, but it is not my responsibility as a patron of the pool/gym to save your kid's life, because you are too lazy to supervise them!!!! I feel better now.
