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:

Can someone explain to me why noodlers are even in the water? It seems they would get a better workout just standing on the deck doing the same exercises.
A noodle workout may be the most appropriate intensity that some of the participants should exercise at. It can be suitable for cardiac patients, those with balance problems, some orthopedic injuries, back problems, those who have been totally inactive and are very unfit, etc.
My mom enjoyed her noodle class until her mid-70's when her knee arthritis made it too painful to walk from the car to the pool. Some of her classmates needed walkers to get around.
There's a reason my health club pool is only 3-1/2 feet deep. Most of the members don't know how to swim based on the ones that actually get in the pool. The pool is mostly empty except during the noodle class. (The adjoining hot tub gets plenty of use.)
