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:

I was very happy to be interupted, after all I swam a length and needed the rest.

This is not good George. That's sounds like Noodle talk for sure. You may have gotten infected.
Better toughen up, or sadly, you might be tempted to tuck one under each arm.
Just say no!
This situation is out of control and no longer about swimming at all. You are now involved in a turf war! This noodler is very territorial!
I'd be careful. Could the aquatic or community manager sit in the pool for the time frame of the noodler class. Maybe this woman would mind her manners if there was an authority figure present. What does the Noodle aerobic teacher do while all this is going on? CRAZY LUNATIC BEHAVIOR!!
We had one this morning. A lap swimmer, not a noodler but still... Our team rents out 3 lanes (we need more but for this summer we only get 3). Another team has 4 lanes which leaves 3 lanes for lap swimmers. We were packed this morning with 10 swimmers per lane. So the coach saw that no lap swimmers were coming in and moved us into a lap swim lane. A lap swimmer complained soon after so we moved back over but then she got in to one of the open 2 lanes. Why did she complain if she wasn't going to get in to the lane that we were using?! Instead it sat empty for about 30 min and then the noodler that swims in a sports bra and board shorts got in it, kicked for a while with her head up and got out. We got in the 4th lane soon after :D to do sprints.
She should be kicked out of the pool for that crap. That is completely unacceptable. You could easily have been injured.
I agree. Stopping you is so wrong!! I'm glad you filed a complaint. Good luck with the meeting.
They have no grounds; I just swim, mind my own business and follow the rules.
While I and I'm sure several others agree- sometimes committees will make the decision that they should just make rules that essentially suspend you from the pool as well as your friend (then there are NO problems!)
Of course this is really sad to see - this is because now we're going to have to see MORE rules - because people can't act rationally... Of course a Confucian society can't really be achieved unless your HOA and that committee decides to act by example and encourage better behaviors from the people who use your facilities. Good luck to them in making the best decision as well.
Wait a minute. SOmeone who was exercising in a POOL complained that her hair got wet and that was seen as a valid complaint? I wish you luck at the board meeting and I hope that reasonable people are in charge of the discussion when it happens.
I'll keep a good thought!
