I think I’m that grumpy swimmer. Today, someone jumped into my lane without giving me the courtesy of a warning, like standing in the lane corner or dangling his feet at the end so I could move over. Fortunately I’m not that good a swimmer, so my head pops up more than it should and I saw him before we had a head-on collision.

After my set, I flagged him down to tell him and all he did was deny it, saying he stood at the end and waited. He must have been standing on the pool deck instead of in the pool because there is no way I wouldn’t have seen him in the lane.

Anyway, I was grumpy afterwards. It’s a bit tough swimming at a facility that isn’t really for “swimmers”. The pool is way too warm and the other swimmers aren’t really dedicated swimmers. Triathlon woes …
