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:

...Therefore the question is what do we have to do to convert noodlers into swimmers? Let's face it, swimming, once done properly and comfortably, can be a far more rewarding and exciting experience than noodling....
This is a good point, but the issue in the pools I swim in is not that they aren't swimming, but that they can't seem to read a schedule. I've never seen a swimmer jump in and start doing laps during "Deep Water Salsa" or "Aquasize" but they seem to think it's okay to enter the pool and do their thing during a time slot that is clearly labelled "LANE SWIM".
No-one minds when the pool isn't crowded, but when it is packed, a person who is just going back and forth in the same spot with her float belt on really creates problems.
