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:
I`m searching for a nice pool to start my swimmimg workouts and trying to gauge the noodler effect at each. Several Y`s in the area, but the noodler population is pretty high. I might just end up paying a little extra and get a gym membership that has more of a lap swimming mentality.
The Downtown Chattanooga Y is wonderful. It has two 25 yard pools. One for the noodlers that they keep at 86 and another one for the serious lap swimmers that is kept at 78-80. From time to time, I make the 160 mile round trip to escape the noodlers at my Y.
