I will however, still wear my sunscreen and conditioner. Good point on the snot. I seem to have a ton of snot when I swim. I actually take a small towel and place it at the end of my lane. Everynow and then I have to stop for a good snot rocket into the towel. I get all kinds of ugly looks. You'd think they would be glad I'm not blowing it in tha pool! |

Anyway this past week I was that guy TWICE!!!!! serious shame 1st I was splitting a lane and as the person in my lane goes by I generally like to move closer to lane divider as to not hit in anyway, well this time I moved so far over that my hand went under the lane divider and I hit the woman swimming in the lane next to me who was also sharing a lane. I didnt hit her in the most inappropriate of places but I did catch her lower thigh, lots of appologies to say the least. 2nd time I finished my set and really didnt feel like climbing out on the blocks like I normally do, I waited and moved across the lane next to me, my brother said something from behind so i stopped and turned around. About 15s later there is a lady kindly standing about 5 feet down the lane from me, I felt like a total jack arse standing right in the middle of the wall in her lane. She was very polite, I was so embarassed I went back in my lane and climbed out. Oh well. Edited by mkarr0110 2009-10-13 3:04 PM |

| Member 87 Central NJ | Subject: RE: Pool etiquette finally breached... If your using sunscreen and all sorts of lotions at an outdoor pool on a good sunny day theres a good chance they'll burn off. Petroleum products do this, look around a farmers pond sometime if he uses a boat in it or does something with a backhoe. Even when I was in the Coast Guard a small sheen would go away in a few hours and it wasn't just going someplace else. Now in an indoor pool they usually ask/demand you rinse off prior to entering the pool. Not a big deal, and I think that if your using the appropriate amount of conditioner in your hair the cloud wouldn't form around you when your hair gets into the pool. I think the OP of the conditioner comment was implying the 21 year old women with 40 years experience at being 21 are using a bit too much conditioner which is resulting in the cloud of conditioner. As a positive thought when the Cologne/perfume slicks get in the water it is practice for the 2 stroke engine oil slick that comes from the rescue boats at the OWS. |

Member 1748 Exton, PA | Subject: RE: Pool etiquette finally breached... mrbbrad - 2009-10-13 8:15 AM Well it finally happened to me too. Show up after work at LA Fitness. It's after 5:00 and the aqua fit ladies start at 6:00. 4 lanes, all but one lane has two people. The guy in the single lane was doing butterfly. Great. On the way back he does backstroke. Ok, he's mixing up his set. I can work with that. I stand at the very edge of the pool looking right down at him as he does his flip turn. Nothing. Ok, he didn't see me. I sit on the edge of the pool, feet in the water off to one side. he comes back down to the wall, does his flip tune and keeps going. Ok... did he not see my feet in the water? I move closer to the middle, still sitting on the edge with my feet in the water. He comes back again (I have now waited 150 yards worth of his set). He does his flip turn again and keeps going. WTF? I jump in and watch as he goes down the lane and flips again at the far end. He seems to be keeping to one side so I head out. We pass in the lane. No problem. I do my open turn at the far end and see he has stopped. Rest set maybe. I get to the near wall, do my open turn, we make "eye" contact and I head back. As I turn to breathe he splashes water right in my face. He had great timing and great aim. He must be practiced at this. I stop and walk back the few feet to the wall and "politely" ask him what his deal is. He says he doesn't mind splitting but I should let him know. He claims to have not seen me, then switches his story to not stopping because he was in the middle of a set. So which is it, I ask, did you not see me or did you just not feel like stopping. Mumble, mumble, mumble from him and I say let's just split the lane and we agree. How nice of him to agree to split "his lane" with me. What a tool. If I'm in the middle of a set and someone jumps in my lane, I don't stop. I just move to one side and make it understood that I see them. However if someone had splashed water into my mouth intentionally while I was swimming as happened to you, my membership would be gone as a huge can of whoop arse would be opened up on that guy. I have been swimming too long to deal with the crap! I am very helpful most of the time, I explain basic edicate at the pool to clueless people and help people with there strokes if they ask. If the pool gets crowded and we have to circle swim then usually people start talking and you get the faster swimmers together in the same lanes. We also try and co-ordinate sets and keep them short, so we don't have as many issues. |

Pro 4827 McKinney, TX | Subject: RE: Pool etiquette finally breached... Marvarnett - 2009-10-13 2:44 PM I don't use suncreen. That's why I can use the filtration and chemicals to neutralize when I pee in the pool. That is very considerate of you, Dan. We really appreciate it. Please let us know where you swim, so we can cross that off our list for places to swim. We don't want to overtax the filtration system, right? |
