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:
Left one health club because of the noodlers. They ran their program at 6:15to 7:00 and took 3 of the 5 lanes (the ones with lines) and left an open 25m and a 25 y lane that always stayed open. They hung on & broke lane lines, but needed the deep water instead of the open area. Complaints did not work changing to the club closer to work did not work (they started at 6:00).
I asked about rescheduling the class to a point within the workday since the majority of the noodlers are no longer in the work force. The reason the regional aquatics director gave me was that it was when they could get an instructor there to run the aqua hokey pokey. Lap swimmers had 23 other hours to swim, it did not matter that the lap swimmers were in the working age bracket and could not swim during business hours.
New club had better rules and a colder indoor pool which kept most noodlers in the other pool, but we ran into the other health club problem - the gold chain gang. The hairy sweaty guys that would come out of the sauna or the hot tub and lounge at the end of the pool and talk.
