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:

:soapbox:Here we go.....
I use a local Y pool and we have lots of noodlers.
Most use a 2 lane space that is reserved for open swim and they also get a secondary pool for their classes.
What drives me nuts is when I'm in the middle of a workout and someone just gets in with no warning and starts floating or flailing toward me.
I've had a couple of collisions where I did not see the person (foggy goggles,head down)and slammed right into them.
Spooked me pretty good.
The other group that raises grumbling among the lappers is those that get in and walk or just exercise in the deep end of the lane-why do you need a lap lane for that?
Noodlers:
1.pick the lane that has a swimmer in it that matches your speed
2.get the swimmers attention so they know you are there
3.if you are not swimming laps-use the open swim area
Thanks......
