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'm currently recovering from an injury due to a Noodler who was not paying attention. At my gym, I only run into them on the weekends - during the week, I'm there @ 5am, long before they are stirring. On the weekends, the gym does not open until 8am, and they have a noodle class @ 9:30am. This should not pose a problem, except that they all get into the pool about 30 minutes before the workout starts...and stand around chatting and watching me swim. This past sunday, one of them was crossing my lane (I was not aware of this) - waited until I was doing a flip turn, and came into my lane about 4 yards from the wall. I saw her at the last second, pulled up (and sideways) to avoid hitting her and scraped my forehead HARD on the lane line (that was a first - fingers, arms...sure - but not my forehead). I stopped and stood up, she apologized and then said, "your head is bleeding". I got out of the pool and...sure enough, I had blood dripping down my face. I now have a mark that looks like Mikhail Gorbachev's mark but dead center on my forehead. :cane: In hindsight, I should have held the SDK right into her...
