The instructor explained to me that it was not her who made the rules but the college.
When I was told the pool was closed, I turned around and started walking to the gate to exit. Then I stopped, and asked the instructor if I could use one of the empty lanes at the opposite end of the pool. I did not have an altercation....just a simple question. When I was told "no" and the college made the rules, not her, I left the pool area. Is that considered rude? Just wondering.

Maybe someone ought to suggest to Lifelong Learning College that a certain number of lanes--and not the entire pool--should be rented. This is done all the time by swim teams who rent a few lanes at a college or other pool....they rent a number of lanes so that classes or other teams can use other lanes.
An example here could be that LLC rents 5-6 lanes, for 2 students in a lane, leaving 4 or 5 lanes open for lap swimming by residents.
A swim instructor ought to be able to understand lap swimmers' needs and convey that to the college.
