I sometimes ask the water walkers if I can swim in their half and they've been very kind to allow me to swim while they water walk. Do lap swimmers at Seabreeze "own their lanes"????
It's been my experience (this year) that folks who come to Colony pool sometimes don't realize that we can share the lanes...at least for walking. What is the thought on people swimming laps amongst the walkers w/o asking? I would think safety could be an issue. ( Glad Swimdawg that you were able to to share.) Did you use the lane closest to the blue ropes?? I do hope that there will be more sport pools south of 466A!!!!

Up north there was a sign posted that if you'd already done 30 minutes and the lanes were full to move out of the pool so others could have their chance. Also, as Swimdawg speaks of (and I"m sure we weren't from the same area) folks who swam shared the lane when it was needed. Just a couple of thoughts!!!
