This is a quick one:
I was swimming in my gym's small pool earlier this week and as I was doing my laps in front crawl, I kept feeling splashes that were obviously not self-produced. At one point I was at the wall to change direction when I got a mouth full of water. I stopped and looked...
It was an older woman who told me in a heavily accented English:
"It is not just you in this pool! I don't want to get my hair wet!"
When I swim, I may drag some water with me but I'm one of the better swimmers I've seen in the pool. I've seen many people flailing and wallowing and splashing much more than I'm sure I do.
My response: "I'm sorry if I'm splashing you, but this is a swimming pool."
