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 hear you EK. But, noodlers demanding all the lane space and/or hot water when you live in a retirement community can't be that much of a surprise. That's like going to a liquor store and being upset that they sell liquor. And, it is really irrelevant how close other pools are when you knew that going in.
It's not that I don't sympathize with your situation. I just have enough experience with this to know when it's time to cut bait and move on.
Well, Geek, I haven't had the experience you have had with swimming/ pools/ noodlers. Until I joined USMS, in February 2010, I hadn't been involved in swimming, since high school, back in 1979. Since then, I had only splashed around in private pools or resorts, etc., until I moved to Sun City and got back into swimming. So, call me ignorant (or whatever), but I honestly thought these women would be fair-minde, like most reasonable people. Little did I know I would be opening up an ugly :worms:. :afraid:.
