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:
AARRRRGGGGG!
But today, I had my first close encounter, and all I can say now is WOW. I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!!!!!
I learned my lesson. Noodlers are totally as bad as everyone says and I will NEVER try to work out on a Saturday afternoon again!
Hey, t, welcome to our world. :bighug: You had a rotten experience and you have my sympathy!
Fortunately, on my end, things have improved- at least for the summer. Our noodlers have moved to the outdoor pool for the later "advanced" :lmao:class, so I don't have to hear their whining about swimmers or the water temperature in the indoor pool being reduced from 84 to 82. (For me, it is still too warm, but at least I was able to convince the board of directors to lower the water temperature down from 86(!!!) :afraid:. (If health issues didn't convince them, the $$$ savings did...).
Meanwhile the B.O.D. has dragged their butts on ruling whether the noodlers get a club charter and exclusive use of the pool, for two hours each morning, during their classes. Fine; drag all you want, B.O.D., because as long as a decision is not made, I still get a lane to swim in during their classes! :banana:
So, the current situation is quite doable: The noodlers are only indoors during the 9AM-10AM class and their largest class is rarely even five people in a three lane, 25 yard space. And, I get along with the 9AM'rs. If deep water Cathy shows up, I move over to the wall lane. If a second swimmer shows up, she hooks the lane line back and relinquishes the deeper water. And, I move to Lane #2 while the new swimmer takes the wall lane. It's a workable compromise; something some of the other noodlers don't know how to do. :bitching:
Deep water Cathy does complain about the temperature drop, but a sign was hung on the door stating the temperature policy and that it will not change. So, she has had to :chillpill: (no pun intended).
Life is good! :bliss:
