One 100 free to go in set. Two open lanes.(no lane lines in pool) Noodler comes over to stand in my lane to talk with friend. Pool is set at 85 degrees cause all the noodlers say it is to cold otherwise. I complain to guard, am told, "well there are a lot more of them then there are lap swimmers" Wont be if they keep this up. UGH! :frustrated:
The noodlers have invaded and swimming pools will never be the same again. I'm resigned to the fact that I'll probably have to build my own pool because the nearby Y pool is morphing into a therapy pool where they keep the water temp 88.
Ok, Ok, not death...but how about require that all noodlers must get their hair done at 6am, each and every day...that way they will want to stay out of the pool when I am there... (couple have already complained to guard that. "those swimmers got them wet!"
Be nice to noodlers.
I have two great friends in Mexico. One I call Mr. Noddles the other I call the Noodle King. I even gave them Christmas gifts last year. I gave both 2 packages of Mr Noodles.

What's all this about death. Drastic times call for drastic measures, but not to this degree.
Waddle over and make some small talk in a language they can understand.
Then start swishing your hands in little circles just under the surface.
Say something like "ahhhh that feels better"...and see what happens.
Your side of the pool will be emptied pronto. Unless they already did the same.

That works! I have done that stunt a few times at my pool...they quickly leave the lane.
This weekend I was at the local pool where I take my kids swimming (they have an indoor pool kept at like 85 degrees, which is great for little kids just splashing around). They have a bin full of noodles, etc. Right next to the bin is a bucket with various toys for the kids to play with and hanging from the wall are life jackets for the kiddies to wear if you so choose (I don't). In any event, a dad who was there with his 4 year old (or so) son grabs a noodle for the kid to hang on to and have fun with. Upon realizing this, the lifeguard immediately got up, walked over to the dad, and informed him that the noodles were for adults only and they didn't want kids playing with them. The dad was incredulous. He couldn't believe his son could not play with what was clearly a toy. The lifeguard rolled his eyes and shrugged his shoulders but the poor kid had to give it up. Goes to show you how proprietary the noodlers are...
