KSH - 2009-06-18 3:13 PM  Otherwise... I swear there is this chick wearing shorts and a bra to get in the pool... and I have seen her in it twice now. Maybe it's a bikini top, but is sure does look like a fancy bra to me.


<- wore tri shorts and a sports bra in the pool the other day.  I was doing my first swim/bike block... :-p


I'm very happy the worst thing I've had to put up with is the 70-ish year old guy who looks like gollum who swims 'laps' but changes which side of the lane he is on (I've ended up "sharing" with him twice now, but always switch lanes before a collision happens!)

There is something really hot about a girl in tri shorts and sports bra swimming laps. There, I said it.

A sports bra is fine.

This lady had on her Victoria Secret bra... it had lace detail on it. Trust me, it was a bra.

Although I'm sure the guys didn't mind her prancing around in her frilly bra and shorts in the pool!

I was swimming laps at Tulane University when I was in undergrad there. The cast of the Real World on MTV showed up, wanting to swim. They freaking kicked all of us out so the 7 people or whatever could splash around the pool with camera crew in tow. I was beyond pissed.


What year were you?
I don' t have any good freaky people at the pool stories. I did used to swim at a freaky little pool in San Francisco. It was in the basement of a Hotel and you could get a gym pass for like 3 bucks a visit to use it. I was too cheap for a regular gym at the time, and most city gym's didn't have pools anyway.
It was kind of a gross little pool. I don't think I ever saw anyone else using it. In fact, it kind of freaks me out just thinking about it now.

It sounds like the guy is just circle swimming... could be considered very polite if your pool is crowded.

I've got the game winner, right here. There's no way anyone's got a weirder, freakier pool story than this.

Let me preface this by saying this happened at my local pool, which is usually really quiet when I go, in Thailand and everything was said in Thai.

So, I've finished my swim and head down to the changing room and showers which is an L-shaped room with the showers at the far end.  The shower cubicles don't have any doors for some reason. It's completely empty, I'm the only soul there. Now, on the occasion I see any Thais there they always shower with their swim suit on, but I always get naked as I don't want the soap and shampoo to ruin my suit. You can't really see into the cubicles unless you walk right up and are parallel with them.

So, I'm taking my shower and a chubby Thai guy comes in and strips down buck naked which as I mentioned above is unusual for Thais. He then walks up to my cubicle and asks if he can borrow some of my shampoo, so I say ok. He then proceeds to get in the cubicle with me while I'm showering. WTF! I tell him to get out quick-smart, but he just stands there and says can he play with me pointing at my penis!! WTF x100.

I just say F@#@ Off and push him out of the stall, he goes flying, gets up and just goes and stands a little away from the cubicle.. So, now I'm thinking I'm gonna have to give this guy a slap if takes anymore liberties.

By now, I'm showering like a madman thinking I'd rather not be here. I finish my shower and quickly wrap my towel around me and get out of the cubicle. The guy is still there, starkers, and as I get my bag and put wash bag away He says if he can't grab mine, can I grab his. I say no, I'm not gay and give him the "Don't f^%$ with me look" He then says Please 3 tugs is enough. I just look at him and shake my head and walk straight past him to the front of the locker room to get changed by the basins and mirrors near the entrance. '

"Please only 3 tugs" like because he's so polite and it won't take long I'll change my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I'm getting changed as fast as is humanly possible when I hear this slap, slap, slapping noise. Takes a couple of seconds to sink in, but the guys around the corner knocking one out.  I hightail it out of there and thankfully haven't seen the guy since!!

I double dare anyone to have a freakier story than that.

This is actually the proper way to swim laps while sharing a lane, especially if 3 or more are sharing a lane.  Many will split the lane when sharing with only one person so they don't have to worry about passing or being held up by the other person.

didn't know...I've never seen anyone else do it, but then again it's rare we even ever have to share lanes.


I'm *SO* thankful for my nice, normal-ish, pool after this thread!!!

I was a competitive swimmer from 7 to 17, I never knew that splitting a lane even existed.

Someone at my college lap swim had to explain to me the concept of not circle swimming.

Could he be thinking that you might be gay?  Since all wear something while showering except you.  May be he thought you like to expose?
Anyhow, having being told "no" more than once and he still "pleaded" is plane crazy.

This thread is hilarious... and gross. I've been LOL all morning.

Shameless flaunting of nudity seems to be an epidemic! It seems to be worse in men's locker rooms... wonder why? My boyfriend constantly complains about it. He too witnessed a dude using the community hair dryer to dry off his package... in a spread-eagle type posture. Same guy also stands buck-naked in front of the fan. More often, it's a bunch of lawyers standing around making shop-talk. Why not just throw a towel around your waist? Can someone explain this to me? Is it some kind of male bonding or subconscious intimidation thing?

I don't consider myself an uptight prude, but as someone else mentioned, I believe in a public locker room, one should be efficient about drying off and dressing. Of course anyone who would place their delicate parts on some nasty bench or floor is probably not all there and may not understand any such reasonable request.

This has become such a problem at my Y in the womens locker room (women using the hair dryer to dry their lady parts) that they actually have official signs up in the locker room that say "Please use the hair dryers to dry the hair on your head ONLY."

Gross!


Seriously?! I've used the Y hair dryers to dry my kids hair after swim lessons... Oh, gross!!!

I hate to do this, but I'll share some of the really wonderful things I've encountered at the pool/gym.

1) At the UCLA 50m lap pool, there was Mr. Bright Yellow Thong, who followed me from lane to lane at that pool, always getting in front of me and doing the breast stroke with an especially wide frog kick.  I had to end more than one workout because of him.

2) Or the time that I finished a late evening swim workout at another big university athletic center, went into the shower area (a huge, tiled, open shower area).  There was a guy in the corner who I barely took note of.  I took a  leisurely post-workout shower, and I couldn't really hear anything besides the sound of the spraying water from the shower reverberating off of the tile walls.  When I turn the shower off, oh god, I hear this guy moaning and groaning back there.  I whip my head around to see him staring at me running his towel back and forth between his legs.  Just great.  Never left a locker room faster in my life.

3. Early morning swim with my wife and kids at a large condo complex on a Hawaii vacation.  We get out of the pool and go over to the spa, and it's filled with giant gobs of semen floating in it, like there was an orgy in the thing the night before.  "Sorry kids, can't go in the spa, it's dirty."  "What is that stuff, dad?"

4. Finish my post-swim shower at an "upscale" fitness club.  I'm getting dressed at a locker right outside the shower area, and the obviously agitated attendant goes walking past me into the shower area muttering something under his breath.  Next thing I hear him banging loudly several times on one of the glass shower doors and yelling to some old guy, "You can't do that in here, the shower doors are see-through.  Do that at home."

I can't tell you how nice it is to swim only at my own, private pool and not to have a gym membership anymore.  There are just way too many freaks in this world.

This settles it. I'm building a single-lane 25m pool in my back yard.

Then I can frog-kick in my yellow thong without jerks posting on the internet about me. Now I'm upset and stressed out. I need some me-time in the locker room.
