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 guard has a point! If indeed there are more noodlers than swimmers, why should the noodlers sacrafice because a lap swimmer wants the water colder? I was raised to believe that while you may not agree with the majority, the majority rules and not to sit around complaining, do something to bring about the change you want.
There are swimmers who don't like cold water either. So it just isn't a 'noodler' thing.
On the other hand I agree with you, if you were already swimming in a lane the noodlers should stay out of it. They probably didn't see you when they got in the lane, but should have moved out of your way.
I've heard enough from the other pool patrons to know that they consider lap swimmers the rudest, most inconsiderate, holier than thou folks in the pool.
