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:
Does anyone know of a list of etiquette rules for mixed swimming? I would love to have one to post. I am so tired of being asked (or told!) to move to another lane!
This happened to me, again, today. I was the only one in the pool (4 lanes, 2 with stripes) when two enormous people arrived, mother, early 50's, and son, early 30's. They are walking circles in the entire shallow end. After two near collisions I stop and ask the man if they need to walk on the line I'm swimming, when they have the entire rest of the pool. He says, yes, they do, since only part of it is shallow enough to walk in, and then says, "You're supposed to swim over there (lane with no black line in it), that's why they put the lane line there." I say, "No, they put the lines on the bottom of the pool for people to swim here." Him: "No, you're supposed to be over there." Me: "You can walk where you like but I am swimming on this line."
I am really trying to coexist. Maybe written rules for mixed use would help. Or maybe some of you have some rules to suggest? Thanks for any help!:chillpill:
