Pool etiquette - don't block the middle! (Page 2)

I've had kids standing and floating on kickboards in my lane. I tried talking to them, but it didn't do any good. It's like tailgating or honking at inconsiderate/unsafe drivers. I have a little faith in mankind as far as getting jerks to stop begin jerks. I try to work around them, but I still get mad.

I loved the "act like your peeing in front of her" idea!

Maybe when you are done with your laps, you could pull a "caddyshack" and leave a chocolate floatie in the water!

Tell her she's bothering your motivation by being so fat in that swimsuit.

She'll leave. Quickly.

Just use whatever space is still available, you can also turn a bit more to the left. If that space wouldn't be enough anymore, ask politely to keep some space in the middle.
It's of no use to act like a jerk, if you do that you're worse then the person who's blocking since they often don't even realize it's bothering.
