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:

The pool heater has been fixed. The noodlers have been coming back slowly, but today had more noodles than a pasta party!:sad::rant3:
Last week marked my first encounter with the noodlers in my gym, and, man, they were rude. My belief in man-kind had gone down two notches because of this encounter. It was a large-ish enough pool so I thought the five of them (with no teacher and no music) could easily co-exist with me while I finish swimming along the edges for my last 10 rounds. But how wrong I was. Two men were actively trying to block me from my rounds. Needless to day, I was the faster in this contest, so they could not have blocked me unless I allowed them to. I adjusted my speed and route for the most part whenever I saw their approaches. But the fact that they actually TRIED (and did in two occasions) to physically touch/push/corner me was amazing. I am still wondering what made them behave so hostilely and took such actions in an environment where there was very little to gain for them. My only explanation so far is: human debris, which is quite sad. ;-( I would rather endure colder pool temperature everyday instead of this.
