Pool etiquette
Yesterday I was at the pool, as I was putting my sunscreen on, this guy decided that he was just going to jump into the lane that I plan to swim in. Fortunately another lane opened up and I moved over. Then halfway through my workout, a woman began to swim in my lane and then crossing the lane line and swimming back in the lane next to me where lessons for kids were taking place. Why did she choose to swim in occupied lanes when there was an open lane just 10 feet away? I almost jammed my hand right into her face, thus hurting her face and potentially spraining my hand, when I realized her surprised presence in my lane.
Do you know pool etiquette? Can you just jump in whenever and wherever you want? What about circle swim and what exactly is circle swim? Go to our website beginning swimmers page to learn about pool etiquette so that everyone can have an enjoyable and accident-free swim.

pool etiquette.
i was at the pool the other day , is a 50 meter pool, got very crowded. All of the sudden while getting ready to swim a lap I look up and next to me , not 1 but 2 swimmer got on my lane. and they even throw their stuff on top of my towel. Now since i am a really nice , peacefull person, I moved to the next, but the next one was already taken by a lady allll the way on the other side of the pool. Short story, got push out one more time, when again a another peson decided to get in it but this time i did not move, we came really close to a crash. I guess since i am a slow swimmer, faster one thiks they have the right to take over.
