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:
Yup. Plus makeup and gobs of jewelry. What's up with that? :confused:
Sadly, some of the kids I swim with come in full make up to practice. But I think it's just left over from the night before. I am amazed at how it runs down their faces as they get wet.:afraid:
I was looking at suits online and came across this site:

I thought you'd all appreciate the picture of the noodler, with her dry hair and lack of splash.
WARNING!!!!!! This link is not for the noodle-resistant faint of heart!! AHHH! Nightmares!

Sheeesh! That's what they look like at our pool; not a wet strand of hair on any of them- until I joined them and it was time to do the flutter kick at the side of the pool... :D

Add 20-30 years and that's what they look like at our pool. One woman today stood on the side of the pool and fixed her hair to make sure it was all in place before she got in.

Elaine- watch out, their next tactic will be to lobby to turn pool temp w-a-a-y up. They want to ruin your swimming experience 24/7...
The pool temp. already got up to 88 on its own, after the heater was turned off, thanks to the glass windows and bad HVAC system. :badday: Can you believe I'm training in 88 degree water???:bitching: Believe me, the water temperature battles have ALREADY happened- last winter. But, I won that battle in getting it turned down from 86(!) to 84; the best I could do- even after quoting American Red Cross recommendations...
Yep - I agree with philoswimmer. Heck - its a pool, you will get wet, so you should be able to carry on swimming your normal workout. And surely they don't all line up by your lane just to get splashed and complain - or do they? I mean there's a lot of other water for them to use even if there were 8 of them in 4 lanes.
Has any of the board or HOA manager watched the pool while you are there with the noodlers, to check out the huge amount of space they have?
In short- yes; at least the one woman. I truly believe she came all the way over to be right next to me, JUST so she could complain and pick a fight with me. There was plenty of room at the other end of the pool where the cd player was set up and the rest of the class was participating.
As for the HOA manager, I've described the situation, but I don't believe she has actually seen it. I don't know if she passed through while I was swimming, but describing it should be good enough for her to get a clue...
