I'm not a swimmer. Yet, when I have family visiting and go to the family pool, I get in the water. I feel more "sure footed" when holding the railing as I enter the shallow end of the pool. Sometimes I'm blocked because of people/children sitting on the steps and/or playing/twirling on the railing. I'm afraid of falling if not holding on to the railing as I enter the water but am blocked from doing so. Wish they would not sit close to the rail and move over to the edge.
Try, "Excuse me, please".
