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:
Switch to fly. They all move out of the way. Works every time!
Not in my pool. I normally practice with a team but occasionally go to open swim time. One of these rare days was last week. I was swimming a workout from my coach that was all IM - swim, drill, kick, etc. I just finished a 50 of fly and am on the wall on the interval for the backstroke when this sweet woman, about my age, asks if she can join me. I told her she could but I was doing a lot of fly and might not enjoy it. Mind you, there are 7 other lanes of open swimming and I was by far the fastest person in the pool. She got in another lane and I noticed later that she would kick half the length and then have to hold on to the lane lines to rest. After seeing that I was even more glad she didn't get in my lane. I would have hit her with my fly!
