Patience has to be one of your strong assets
I am amazed you coped with all that nonsense. I don't understand how people can come to a conclusion a lane is theirs. I mean there should be enough water for everybody.
I have personnally access to 3 different pools that are within 15 minute drive or less. One of the farther ones I did on occasion run into a similar problem you just described. It did'nt quite degenerate to the point of having lifeguards having to do something but still it was really unpleasant.
Fortunately the closest pool to my house is filled with the most courteous people you can imagine. Unfortunately I guess it makes it a little more crowded but with people being courteous its relatively easy to swim in with up to 5 or 6 swimmers per lane. At 8 per lane its just too much no matter how nice people are.
The third pool I never actually swam in it but I hope its juat as good as it gets. LOTS of lanes available any time of day and never more than 3 per lane. That should be perfect!
And I got nothing brown so I can't help with this month's challenge.
