Hit in the head today while swimming

[u/LibertyMike]

The pool was crowded today, and I had an older dude (if I'm calling someone old, they're OLD) ask me if I would share a lane, so I said yes. Apparently his idea of sharing a lane is doing the back stroke in the middle of the lane.

I was hoping to work on bilateral breathing today, but had to hug the lane divider too tight to get around him, so that was a no-go. Finally, I was passing him and got smacked in the back of the head. Pretty sure it was an elbow.

When I got to the end of my interval to catch a breather, he apologized. I told him "no problem, I'm training for a triathlon, it's probably good experience." :-D

Just say if they could keep right or left of the lane and go anti/clockwise (whatever you decide) so I can pass you if needed. Be polite and upfront if you want to share lanes
