So while I'm on business during the week, I went to the local rec center to use their pool. I got there right on 'start' time for lap swim, and there was one lane line in the pool (with what looked to be some ex-college swimmers in the lane) and it looked like the guards were messing with the other lane lines. So I hopped in the non-lane line part and started warming up (4 lane pool approx). Well, I came to realize they were putting the lane lines away, not in.
So I did my 50 min workout (lap swim only an hour that night) and got out... thinking I'd probably not go back. Water was pretty warm, and there's an entrance on the one side of the pool to the rest of the "kid and rec" pool which caused sideways current strong enough for me to have to 'combat' it.
So I'm headed out, as the local swim team is showing up and putting in the blocks and lane lines.
I ran into a staff member who sought me out to tell me that lap swim would have later hours as this was the last week for the swim team. So I asked her very nicely why there was only 1 lane line in the pool during lap swim. She (this was funny to me) sounded apologetic about it and said there's usually no lane lines in the pool during lap swim. (really??)
So I said, very nicely, that it was nice to swim with a lane line... to which she said I should just ask for one to be put in if I want when I show up, they would put one in for me.
What would you do? Go back and have them pop in a lane line, or suck it up and pretend it's extra open water practice?
I was thinking I'd give them one more try before I decided.
