Just wondering how many swimmers most of you share a lane with during masters workouts. People around here are starting to get indignant when they have to share a lane with someone else during a masters workout. I don't understand it. I was wondering if this is a national phenomenon.
In addition to having 11 people per lane some nights, we have also had nights with a water temperature of 88 degrees AND an air temperature of 96 degrees. Yuk!

It could be worse... you could be having a running practice in that weather. We in Philly are having a spate of hot, muggy weather, and wouldn't you know, this is the summer I decide to focus on running. Some days, I step outside, feel pressed in by the heat/humidity... and ASAP take shelter at my Y on their treadmills--only one runner allowed per treadmill (I know, I know...y'all are thinking "what fun is that?"). :joker:
tjrpatt, I was swimming at the 'nova pool for the Sunday workouts for a while last year--had the slow lane (no. 10) and for the most part would never have more than one or two other swimmers (including an occasional faster swimmer doing a cool-down). One of the benefits of being slow, maybe.... ;)
Currently training for the Philly Distance Run, so haven't done so much swimming except some easy recovery efforts. In the fall, my Y will have a masters' group again, so I hope to pick up more yards... I doubt very much I'll have a lane to myself in those practices as our Y tends to like to multi-task the pool. No big deal.
