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:
Well at least they are trying something!
Chances are if you could strap a heart rate moniter on most noodlers you would probably be surprised to find they are in their target heart rate zone.
Years ago when I started using HRM's in my PE classes I was shocked to find most of the over-weight kids who I thought were lazy and not working hard were really working as hard as they should have been working. Some of the trained or more gifted students were actually the slackers...their heart rates were low even though they were participating very actively. Sometimes the truth isn't what it looks like it should be.
Give the poor noodlers a break and try to be their friend. They are probably in awe of your mad skills and would be flattered if you talked to them. :angel:
