The joys of a small town pool, on Sunday mornings we have lap swimming from 11am to 12 noon. now that in the last couple of weeks the new years resolutions have died off i have the pool to myself! and now that the life guards are getting to know me personally the are giving me swim advice as i am the only one they have to watch.

I coach a master's group, and all resolutionists have left too.

Some of them were really good (not natural swimmers, but learned VERY quickly).

The only resolutionist to stick around was someone who joined in February.  Lol.

 

Enjoy the nice pool space.

Not a small town but at least 50% of the time I am the only one in the pool during "faculty swim" at my school. In four years, I think I have had to share a lane once, back when we had a master's swim program. There was one other woman and we split the lane.

The lifeguard clearly isn't happy about having to stay till closing time just for one swimmer, but I don't have much choice as no other nearby pools have lap lanes/times. This year resorted to financial incentives (Tet money packet) and that has improved his attitude considerably. At first it drove me crazy and I yearned for people to show up; now I honestly could care less; if the workout is really hard, I'd rather nobody see me gasp and groan!

My small town pool has 3 lanes dedicated to lane swimming only, most hours the gym is open.

I'm often alone in the pool after 7:30 PM, or at least the only one lane swimming.

btw Drago - I love your avatar picture.
