The pool was packed...

Wow! I got to the pool last night a little after 5pm and it was PACKED! There were only 2 lanes open for lap swim, one lane had 4 people in it, the other had 1. I selected the lane with 1.....

NOT A GOOD DECISION!

I swam with a "gentleman" who took up the entire lane...not because of his size, but because he swam straight down the middle of the lane. If I went to pass him, he moved left as I moved left or right as I moved right. A few times I had to do "half-laps" just to put enough space between us.

It was so frustrating. I understand that everyone has a right to swim at their own speed, but when you are not being considerate of others....it SUCKS! I even chipped my toenail on the side because he was hogging so much of the lane.

I swam my half mile and got the heck out of there...it was 18 minutes of POWER swimming and I WAS DONE!!!
