Bloody lane swimmers that don't 
I've just got out the pool after my first swim in a couple of months and I chose the slow lane as its been a while, my thinking being I'll get my speed back up before I go in the medium lane as I don't want to get in the way
Well now I remember why I moved to the medium lane in the first place ffs
The slow lane is full of inconsiderate fucking gossips  aarrrgggghhhhhh they spread themselves right across the lane and are completely oblivious of anything going on around them
Now everyone has the right to swim as they please but why not come half an hour later once it becomes a general swim and leave the lane swim to those that want to do just that fucking SWIM 
And breath
Sorry bout that I just needed to let it out before I screamed the changing room down  |

People who want to chat should do so at the ends, leaving the pool for those who swim. I (Scarlett) chat sometimes but not mid length.
I also swim front crawl but when passing a breast stroke swimmer I change my style so I don't splash them. Bit hard when the pool is full of them though!! |

very good point but in the corner if poss not spread right along the edge so i can't swim a full legnth, i like a natter with a friend i sometimes see there but we go right into the corner so we're not blocking anyone
well if nothing else its going to make me push myself this week to get back upto speed n back in the medium lane as quick as i can so there is a bit of a positive  |

"With my swimming prowess, being related to that of a brick, yep, straight down to the floor of the pool, despite 10 pairs of water wings, I find it safer to stick to the Toddlers pool.
It does get humiliating being shown up by infants who show more skills "
they do adult swimming lesson ya know worth a shot as its a fabulous form of exercise and fun to boot  |

I can't do the legs for breast stroke always end up flicking my legs so may as well do crawl. I can't back crawl in a straight line either and always end up bashing people |

I find that if whilst doing the breast stroke you fart each time you bring your legs together and utter the words "ahhh no follow through that time" (every second or third stroke), not only do you propel yourself through the water quicker, you soon have the lane all to yourself.

WARNING:
If by chance you do follow through accidentally, you may find you not only have the lane to yourself, you have the whole pool to yourself.... but it will be the last time they let you in there |

heard that myth that if you peed in the pool that it would somehow mark you red. Scared me for a bit. Not that I ever planned to do it in the first place but you never know when desperate and not enough time to get out |
