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:
This is the last time I will state this!
If you strapped a heart rate monitor on a noodler in the most intense part of their workout and did the same with a highly conditioned swimmer at the peak of their workout I'm guessing you find them both in their Target Heart Rate Zones. In other words the noodler's are probably working about as hard as they should be for the fitness level they are aiming to hit. For this reason I respect the Noodler's for getting in the water and working to attain some level of fitness ( and have some fun too!)
As far as rude Noodler's go I'd have to say I've found unkind, disrespectful people in all walks of life (and exercise modes). You really can never totally escape the wrath of these folks so I choose to not let them discombobulate me and I'll attempt to carry on in the happiest way I see fit to do so! Maybe if we're all good ambassadors for our sport we could possible see some noodler's cross-over and become swimmers. ( crazy but possible!)
