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:
As in time flew by. No reason to do the other as I have reached a point in life where I realize it is pointless to try and chrome-plate a turd.

That's what I thought :angel:
This isn't a noodler question but about slightly higher on the food chain.Do any of you use the web finger gloves in a workout.They seem like a reasonable idea,but I realized I had never seen a serious swimmer use them.In fact I am not sure I have ever seen a male use them or anyone doing interval work.They seem to be used exclusively by women swimming slow laps and they seem to convert their LVF(late vertical forearm) to NVF(no vertical forearm) as they seem to provide more drag than they can manage.Comments?
I've changed my mind a bit on this. This AM some noodlers arrived at the Y pool and they were ALL very attractive, fit women in a range of ages. It was quite pleasant and made my workout go faster. Not sure if this was just some odd statistical glitch or they are going to be regulars, but they can definitely have a lane.

Where? When?
I wish................
Huh? faster as in time flew by or faster as in you worked harder to try and show off?

Female ex college swimmer uses them at our Y...
I have long believed that I will end up in Hell but I think I sealed the deal this morning.
While swimming some easy laps, a somewhat attractive 40-something noodler in the next lane kicked up under the ropes and caught me in the stomach with her foot. I swallowed some water, stopped and hung on the lane line, coughing. She came up to me and started in on me about how I should be more careful. (huh? You were under the ropes...) I looked at her and said "I did it on purpose." That stopped her cold and she just looked at me. I smiled and said, "Well, how else is a guy like me ever going to get a chance to get any attention from someone like you?" She blushed hugely, stuttering. I took her hand, gently kissed the top of it and said "Unfortunately, the rest of my day can only be a disappointment after this." And then resumed my laps. When I got out a few minutes later, she and the two other ladies who were noodling with her waved good-bye to me. I blew them all a kiss.
I friend of mine who witnessed and overheard the whole thing, caught me in the locker room later and said "You are, without a doubt, the most evil b@st@rd I have ever met in my entire life. Nice job."
