I can literally smell that stuff when I'm SWIMMING!!  It drifts out of the locker room and into the pool area.  It is terrible.  Agreed.

I hate when I'm sitting down to put on shoes or whatever, and the guy next to me sprays this cloud at my face level because he's standing up. Blegh.

Stick deodorant FTW!!

Wow, I agree...this morning some guy's deoderant spray sent me in a 10 minutes sneezing fit!  I thought they stopped making that garbage.

Cologne in the ladies locker room! Yell
The other day I walked in to a cloud of perfume a lady had just sprayed. I could not help but gag and cough uncontrollably. I *may* have coughed extra loud just for effect, but the initial reaction was uncontrollable. It went straight down my throat... she had sprayed THAT much.

There are some guys, and even girls at my gym/pool who "swim" (I use the term in the broadest sense of moving through water...) but apparently feel it is necessary to douse themselves in spray deodorant, Axe spray, perfume, cologne or any other manner of gross things liberally before getting into the pool...then when I swim the water tastes and smells like a gross mix of all of it...It was probably all those disgusting chemicals that broke the heater on the pool last week, geez...

I couldn't agree more!  I've never understood why people use that stuff....and when they get in the pool, AAAHH, I taste the stuff for hours afterwards.

I use spray, but I don't empty the can when I do.

and i'm mindful of others...unless they passed me in the pool.

It's just easier, works better (for me), and doesn't leave sticky gunk under the 'pits...

I thought this was going to be about sitting on the locker room bench while naked or something...<bleck>

This is another thing that must go.  Get in, get out, and don't "hang" around.

I use the spray, but leave it at home, definetly not for the pool or locker room.  Smelly perfume / colonge pool water is the worst.

It's the guys that sit on the bench naked while reading the paper that absolutely disturbs me. I mean, WTH?!?

I've never seen a female use spray deodorant in the locker room.  Ever.

I like to sit naked on the locker room bench reading a paper and spraying my underarms with deodorant every time someone walks by.  It's nice to say 'hi' to them, and talk about the Brazilian body fungus problem that I can't seem to resolve.  Eventually, when the can is empty, I'll put on my swimsuit, wander out to the pool, and hop in without taking a shower.  I usually pick a lane that already full with the best swimmers.  Then I start swimming right down the middle and crash into anybody already in the lane, at which point I jerk my head up and yell at them "WTF are you blind?  I've been a member here since day one, and this is MY f-ing lane, so MOVE over."  Once I get to the deep end of the lane, I start my aquajogging.  It's great aquajogging, because while I do that I can yell out stroke advice to the swimmers in the adjacent lanes -- "Higher elbows babe, but lookin gooood except for that.  You look phaaaaat in that suit of yours."  Once I've given stroke advice to everyone in the pool, then I head down to the wall and wait for people to push off.  I time my push-off right before theirs, and I beat them in a 25-yard sprint.  Then I stand at the end and flex my muscles for a couple minutes, then push off right ahead of them again, but this time I stare at them underwater the entire length.

I like my gym, and the people there love me.

We have a big problem with heavily perfumed/cologned gym members. It never fails, that no matter how much I try to avoid them...they almost inevitably end up next to me on a piece of equipment. Kind of kills your rhythm running on the dreadmill, when you have to take in a whiff of somebody's eye-watering, choke-inducing stench. Major pet-peeve of mine!

OK, about 3 weeks ago ...naked woman taking up the entire bench because she is sitting with both her feet up on the bench trimming her toe nails and skin off her feet.  DISGUSTING! GROSS!  and this is a "nice" club.

I still think the worst is the guys who walk up to the urinal naked (including shoeless) and take care of their business.  We dudes don't always have the best aim, so I'm pretty sure "Shoeless Joe Pee Freely" is standing in a shallow puddle of bladder fluid.  A close second is the "I'm naked, so why don't I stop and chat with you a while dude."  Maybe it's my blue eyes.

Swim noodle, that's affirmative.  And of course, I also left off the bit about returning to the locker room, shaving my legs and urinating in the shower, then spreading my gear all over the bench and walking naked to the hair dryers where I spend ten  minutes just drying off the boys.  I love my gym.
