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:

Fair questions dont mind answering. the answer is #3. I have owned my own business for 21 years, and understand completely the need to make a profit, especially when you consider that if my club does close, I am back to 45 minutes commute to the next nearest pool (outside of the one, one hour open swim at local high school each week)... I get it, which is exactly why I dont complain....too much......to the club about the water temp. I just think it is crazy to complain that the pool is 2 tenths of a degree less that what they think it should be....enough complaining that you put a letter in the suggestion box.... also realize one thing, they have a therapy pool right next to the lap pool where the water is kept around 90 degrees, that pool is available to anyone, and while not 25 yards long, certainly large enough that 30 people could exercise comfortably, in fact some of the rudler noodlers do their class there while the rest of them are in the lap pool.... also I do not disagree with "Majority rules" that is the way it should be, and that is why it is currently at 83 degrees instead of the 78 degrees members of the swim group would like it at....wondering if it were kept at 84 how long it would take before they complained that it isnt 86 ...just saying...talking profit I dont know the precentages, but understand that the higher the temp of the water the more chemicals used, add that to the cost of heating the water that extra couple of degrees=less profit for the club as well....thanks for your interest.....Elaine....I think I am beginning to remember why I quit posting on these forums so much......
