Hi! New guy to the forums here, and pretty new to lap swimming too -- I've been doing it since May sometime.
More than once when I've wanted to join someone in a lane I've found it difficult to get their attention. At first I thought people just didn't want to share, but then I paid attention while I was swimming and realized that when you're looking at the bottom of the pool it is indeed easy to miss someone standing on the edge.
So what do you do? I've taken to dangling my feet deep enough that they're hard to miss, but is this obnoxious? Does anybody have pointers for getting someone's attention without annoying them when you need to share a lane?

I place my kickboard, paddles, athletic drink, food substance packet, fins, pull bouy, white board with six weeks of fake workouts on it, sunscreen bottle, and if really prepared my blue noodle, at a corner of the lane. I then stretch for twenty minutes in my see-through speedo.
I never seem to have a problem with getting my own lane
