It is especially aggravating when you have someone walking in a lap lane - they should be over in the walkers part of the pool, so serious swimmers have a place to swim.
I've said this before; I would speak up and ask the walker to kindly move to the open area of the pool. There is no reason a walker should use a lap swim lane.
