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:
You should have put a noodle there, so they know someone else has occupied the lane already.
How are they supposed to know what the mesh bag and all that other stuff means :p
But Connie.... the noodlers are getting to where they have more gear than we do, and require their own luggage! At my pool they may be packing:
one or more "traditional" noodles
a version of the lifeguard "buoy", complete with shoulder strap
two oversized hand-held dumbells with foam floats where the weights would go
a similar device with an elongated rod (like a pugil stick)
two "resistance paddles" that have adjustable "paddles" to increase or decrease the resistance
fins
goggles
cap
lap counter
water bottle
timing device (watch or small clock)
water ipod equivalent
It seems technology has made noodling an economy all it's own!
