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:
It seemed a bit confusing to me, as well. But, the water aerobics group tried forming a charter club solely for the purpose of having more influence to get exclusive use of the pool, 9-11am (for two classes), Monday-Friday.
So, the way I read this, they have two choices:
1. Remain a class (not a club) and have exclusive use of the pool for only one class, M-W-F.
2. Form a charter and get to have one class M-F, however, they would only get exclusive use on days their classes exceed 15 participants. Otherwise, they are stuck with me "splashing" them in the dedicated swim lane. :D
In other words, they got shut down on trying to form a charter club just to get me and other swimmers kicked out of the pool during their classes (even though class size averages 0-5 participants). (By the way, Charter clubs in our community have priority over interest groups and classes, when it comes to reserving facilities.)
I'm not happy with the decision to give them any exclusive use of a unique resource, such as our only indoor pool, when their class size is so ridiculously small, however, it could have been a lot worse. At one point, for months, swimmers were completely banned from the pool for two hours each day, six days per week! :bitching:
It warms my heart that the two :censor: instigators (the other noodlers are actually on my side) of this didn't get their way. :ohyeah:One hour M-W-F is failure in their eyes; they wanted the policy to revert back to two hours daily of exclusive use. And, they weren't willing to compromise at all. Sorry noodlers; you got out-noodled! :D
That's how I was reading it, too. I guess it's the boards way of saying to the noodlers, "we're giving you some of what you want, but you can forget about getting that absolutely over-the-top request."
Anyway, glad to hear that it's only three hours out of the week that they hog the pool. And even more glad that all the drama is over with! (hopefully!!):bliss:
