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:
I can understand the usefulness of water aerobics for that purpose, but what the heck is the noodle for? i've even seen them paddling around on them.
Hi Bob!
The noodle is a colorful prop that add interest and excitement to the class; sort-of like the flag twirlers in a band.
On a more serious note I'd say they use the noodle for resistance training (pushing it away and pulling it back in). Also I suspect many noodlers's are not
confident swimmers and like the idea of a flotation device handy to their reach in case they couldn't make it to the wall. I'm not saying this to be a smart-alec, I have seen behavior pointing toward this.
