Excuse me while I rant a moment about fellow lap swimmers:

Just because it's easy to go out and get a cap and googles and a suit and go to lap swimming does not mean that all of you out there are good swimmers. Don't get in the *fast* lane if you are not *fast*. This means that if you require fins to swim at the speed of the other swimmers in the lane, you should not be in that lane. If you don't really know how to do a flip turn but pretend to do one anyways, just make sure you stay the hell out of my lane. If the swimmers are circle swimming, DO NOT SWIM ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE LANE!!!! And don't push off the wall on the wrong side of the lane because you are an idiot and insist on doing a flip turn when you're really just making an ass out of yourself. And finally, to all those male swimmers out there with big fat egos, let me pass. Don't swim faster because I'm behind you and I'm a woman, let me go first. I can assure you that considering that I have swam competitively since the age of 11, I am faster than you. I will go around you and probably kick you in process because I'm mean like that. Just get over yourself and your stupid racing suit and let me go first(I HATE it when slow swimmers wear the fancy racing suits for LAP SWIM!!!! these people are IDIOTS!). And to you, frumpy pink cap lady, the purpose of lap swim is to SWIM, not chat. If you come to the pool to chat with your fellow frumpster, stay out of my lane. I'm in training and your interference with my workout means that my 3200 yards that should take an hour at most, takes much longer.

That is all....
