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:
Noodler "I get too cold in that pool, and particularly with winter coming I think I'll try the weights upstairs rather than go in the water"
But winter???? its still almost 90 here!
I can relate, 'Fly! The average high in my area of Georgia should be 84, but it has been in the 90's most of the month. It was 97 on Monday, 95 on Tuesday, and, IS IT EVER GOING TO COOL DOWN??? I have the Pentathlon swim meet on Saturday and 90+ heat is brutal on my heat intolerant autonomic nervous system. :afraid:
Back to the noodlers... It just baffles me when the noodlers get in our 84 degree(!!!) pool and complain in their whiny voices, "It's tooooo coooooold!" :confused:
I did win one (*little*) victory against the noodler masses though. The outdoor water aerobics group moved their class back indoors and I actually was given the choice of whether I wanted the indoor classes to start at 9am or 9:30, with the "advanced" class starting an hour later. Naturally, I chose 9:30! :agree: (Last year, there was only one class for everybody and they co-existed with lap swimmers. This year, there are two classes and we are kicked out of the pool for both). That may not seem like much of a victory, but that extra 30 minutes comes in handy when I can't get to the pool in time to get 11/2 hours of swimming in.
