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 should have read this thread in March I might have been able to laugh off my noodler experience.
I was actually asked BY THE LIFEGUARD to leave the pool during an open swim because I was swimming 'too fast' and upsetting his pool full of (very territorial) noodlers.
To this day no one at our Y gets what is wrong with the noodler pods but they can't figure out how to get more revenue from their pool.
They are, as a gorup, extremely rude and create a huge safety hazard.
In most cases the lifeguard should be the one managing the swimmers so that everyone can do their thing safely- that includes telling noodlers to move or putting them in a lane all their own.
