Death to all Noodlers!

AS THE STOMACH TURNS continues... The sign had gone up last Wednesday that the pool was reserved for water aerobics (the entire 25yd pool for 6-8 people). The sign came down after my meeting with the HOA manager and lifestyle director. One little problem, though... Not only was the community NOT notified about the new policy; it also wasn't notified when the policy reverted back. So, today, I'm swimming in one of the two lanes for lap swimmers- complete with lane lines- when three ladies enter the pool for water aerobics. THREE. One of the ladies was the :censor: who verbally attacked me, as described in a previous post. Next up in my workout was, as The Fortress puts it, "The Evil". Now, I'm not referring to breaststroke, because that's my stroke. No, in my case, it's The Fortress' best stroke and my worst- the backstroke. :afraid: Just this past Friday, my part-time coach took a look at my backstroke, upon my request, because I would like to enter the Peachtree City Pentathlon, in September. Time to get working on that nasty backstroke... First off, he says: Keep your head still. So, I start swimming backstroke, keeping my head as still as possible, staring at the ceiling, so I wouldn't move my head. Next thing I know, YANK! :afraid: The :censor: had gotten into my lane and physically assaulted me! She actually yanked my arm- in mid-stroke- to stop me from swimming! Then, she proceeded to yell at me to get out, that I'm not supposed to be there, there's a sign posted as such, and :blah: :blah: :blah:. I calmly pointed out that, no, there is no sign posted, it was taken down, and, if you have a problem with that, go speak to the HOA manager. She stormed out and I kept swimming. The HOA manager came in, I reported what happened, then she told them they could have one lap swimming lane for their deep water aerobics stuff, but that I would get the other one. I kept swimming hard. Really hard. Right next to the :censor:. I am happy to report that I swam backstroke faster than ever (still slower than my breaststroke :blush: ) and my flutter kick was the strongest six-beat kick I had ever kicked. :D Stay tuned for more of, AS THE STOMACH TURNS... (There is supposed to be a meeting, tomorrow, for the indoor pool users, except that the community has yet to be notified...)
