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:
Hi, T. I am so grateful that our sport is so helpful for coping with frustration. I started out really happy to share the pool with women who were, after all, there for fitness with their noodles. UNTIL they lobbied to get the temp raised from 83 to 84, and then 86! AND THEN they got the pool closed to lap swimmers during their class of 3-6 women ("We don't want to get our hair wet"!?!:censor:) Whatever. I just know I am becoming a better person, letting all the frustration, etc, drain away, like water off a duck's back, I'm in my happy place... With all the practice coping at the pool it makes the rest of my life seem easy.
Carol, as you know, our situations have been quite similar:
A.) Noodlers lobbying to get the water temp. raised
B.) 3-6 (0-5 at my pool) women wanting to monopolize the entire pool
C.) "We don't want to get our hair wet!" Oh yeah, put a big :censor: on that one.
Once again, Mrs. Frog, I offer my :bighug: to you, as well as my total and complete sympathy and empathy. The noodlers at our pools really need to GET A LIFE! :bitching:
