Metro_Nome 12 Nov 3:06pm, 12 Nov 2024 7,795 posts	0 Metro_Nome I was able to channel your luck and had a lane to myself for much of my swim, or just one well behaved lane mate It really does make such a difference and is the worst bit of swimming for me (even more than the dry skin and hair!). I hit a busy time yesterday- at one point there were 4 of us in a lane all of varying speeds, but everybody was conscientious and we got on just fine. Later I was in a lane with just one woman and it was a nightmare! She was doing slow breaststroke and swam very wide. I couldn’t pass her in lane as she would move over and take up the whole lane, and she wouldn’t let me past at the end of the lane. In the end I just had to stop halfway along the pool and turn (and I hate missing my wall push off, it gives me valuable speed)

Metro_Nome 16 Nov 2:32pm, 16 Nov 2024 7,802 posts	0 Metro_Nome I had the holy grail of a lane to myself today, and even the whole pool for a while. Was lovely except I worried I’d missed a fire alarm or something, Saturday afternoon is usually pretty busy!

Little Nemo 22 Nov 11:19am, 22 Nov 2024 15,864 posts	0 Little Nemo Not so lucky today, pool only had one slow lane so I had to share it with several others. Made for an interesting swim as I had to dodge some erratic swimmers and a large bloke who was standing in various positions in the shallow part! All good training Also messed up my lap counter so did 38 instead of 40 laps - d'oh!
