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 think you would all be better off to join a master swimming club and forget the lap swims at all the rec centers, health clubs and the Y if you can't handle frustration. Then you have to put up with more frustration, you will never be able to control your workouts with a coach - stupid drills etc. etc. etc. and workouts you do not want to do. Coach tells you to swim breaststroke when you cannot do it without injury, backstroke when you get sea sick doing backstroke, fly when you are not in shape to do it. Asking you to do all kinds of things you are not ready to do. The coach tells you to jump and you will only be able to ask how high.
I will stay at the lap swims where I am in control and put up with the odd noodler or two.
