Which is no biggie, though I think spreading out is a little better since it cuts down on the wake.    Moments later, another girl gets into the pool &#8211; into my lane.  <\/p>\n<p>Now, see, this is awkward.  While there&#8217;s no assigned lanes, I always check carefully to make sure I&#8217;m not getting in someone else&#8217;s lane.  And I&#8217;m not casual about it &#8211; even with my not great vision without my glasses, I never usurp anyone else.  <\/p>\n<p>But here she is, with her little kickboard, all ready to go.  I&#8217;m charging down the lane towards her at full power, then come to a stop not far way and wait to see if she notices me and her error.   Either she was really, painfully, clueless or she just didn&#8217;t care.    So, I dove under the rope and switched lanes.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I&#8217;m pretty sure she wanted that lane so she could swim with her friend since they spent part of the time at the wall chatting.       If she had waited a moment until I got down to the end of the lane and asked if I would move &#8211; I would have without any problem.   Instead, she just took over the lane.<\/p>\n<p>Next time, unless I&#8217;m sure the person is visually impaired, I&#8217;m not giving up the lane and they&#8217;ll just have to share &#8211; and stay out of my way.<\/p>\n<p>In other news&#8230; my boss is considering having me take over the webmaster@uakron.edu email account.
