It wasn't as enjoyable as usual...

Unfortunately when I went to the pool, it there were seven or so teenagers in the pool I normally go in. There were a few in the other pool, too. I'd taken the trouble to get my suit on and go over there, so I tried doing some laps. The teenagers that had taken over the pool I usually let in were loud, obnoxious, and had no respect for other people's space, so for a while I moved to the second pool, which had a few teens in it too, but they were behaving a bit less obnoxiously. I did get to go in the pool I normally go in when the teens got out to go over and eat chips or whatever they'd brought with them, but unfortunately that only lasted about ten minutes. I had to switch pools a couple of times, but I stayed about an hour and got some laps in, so--yeah. I came home and took a shower, and got into my p.j.'s. Never did go to get the mail, but that is something I can do tomorrow morning. Right now, I need to figure out what to have for dinner. Hope that all is well with you in your part of myLot land !

Sorry your swim wasn't as enjoyable. They were probably just having fun and not paying attention to who was around them. Kids are just in their own little worlds sometimes, not trying to be disrespectful-just being themselves and having a good time.

@xstitcher I don't like that language from anyone so yeah that's definitely not enjoyable! I was just picturing teens getting in the way or playing "chicken" or something.

You weren't there listening to their constant "F" words. To me, that's obnoxious. Plus, kids can "have fun" and still be respectful of others.

I’m glad you got your swim even tho the kids were obnoxious. Kids can be aggravating.

Thank you, me, too. Sadly, kids nowadays aren't taught respect for anyone else.

Is it a public pool?
