I got in a rogue workout this morning! At 6 am I walked out of the locker room onto the pool deck. Observation #1: I was the only person there. Observation #2: there was quite a bit of standing water on the pool deck. Observation #3: one of the hot tubs was flooding over - thus the source of the water on the pool deck. Hmmmmm... was the pool closed? I didn't see anything posted... Observation #4: there was a piece of paper taped to the outside of the glass door to the pool area. I decided to get in and see if anyone chased me out. A few hundred yards later another guy came out of the locker room and hopped into the non-flooding hot tub. More guys emerged; eventually all the lanes were occupied. No women though... was something posted in the women's locker room but not the men's? No, by the end of my workout a couple women did appear and start swimming. On my way out I took a closer look at that piece of paper. It did indeed say "Temporary Pool Closure." Because of the layout of the place, the women were much more likely to notice that paper on the way to their locker room, so that's why there were fewer of them in the pool. If I encounter the same situation tomorrow morning, I'm following the same playbook... :rofl:
