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 was looking at suits online and came across this site:

I thought you'd all appreciate the picture of the noodler, with her dry hair and lack of splash.
Not to mention make-up in place. As for "bobbers," they can pose a problem for those doing serious water running workouts. During one of my running injuries, when I hadn't yet gotten into swimming, I was doing an interval workout in the water with one of those vests. So was a young man of high school age. We were both having a time trying to get around (a) two high school girls and (b) two 60something women... both pairs were bobbing along oblivious to any attempt by the guy or me to get by them and do our workout. He was motoring along pretty well in spite of it, and I don't think I was doing too badly at the time. But when I got within range of the perfume the women were wearing, that would disrupt my rhythm and slow me down.
Perhaps that's just one of the "aha!" moments that eventually led to my using the pool for swimming, not for deep water running. I recover pretty well from running injuries by swimming my interval workouts instead of "water running" them. So I suppose I owe these two pairs of women thanks for inspiring me to get started with masters swimming. :)
