Wait guys I think he wanted this lane because of the ladder to get out. He sat in the hot tub after swimming 1 lap and wasn’t the most mobile so I think he really just needed this lane! I appreciate everyone standing up for me but it wasn’t a big deal. Gave me a moment of connection with another human being and became a memorable part of this mornings very boring workout! I’ve found the secret to happy life is to look less at myself in situations and more at others, it’s incredibly freeing!

how did so many people watch this and think poorly of him… my first thought was that he wanted to be by the wall and ladder, he’s obviously older… in a pool with flippers and a snorkel i think we can look a little beyond ourselves here

He definitely wanted to be near the ladder. We need to give grace to our senior and take care of them. Well done 🫶

Him going for a swim might have taken so much courage as his weekly activity and once he got there it would have taken courage to ask for the lane 😭ugh bless you for being kind.

I definitely think he just needed the ladder or stairs, when I used to do laps the older people always wanted the edges

This is so incredibly refreshing. I can think of so many people that would take this situation and be irritated and rude about it when it's pretty clear he needed it because of the ladder. You are so sweet and understanding 🩷

I love the mentality of him only doing a lap and a half. Like he knows that’s what he can do and instead of being like that’s not even worth it he was like I’m doing this lap and a half. That’s awesome.

Like he was actually going to use the Birkenstocks in the pool?! Always point at empty lanes! Equal levels pissed off and accidentally flip turning on him Everytime.

I think both interactions were super kind. Now you can also take this as a learning experience, if there is only that one ladder, you can leave the ladder lane open for those less mobile. 🥰

the comments don’t understand swim etiquette! jumping into someone’s lane to split or circle swim is very common in recreational swimming :) the only thing kinda weird here is that there were other lanes open but swimmers know you don’t own a lane just bc you’re in it and will need to share if more people show up

It’s genuinely so nice to see kind human interaction. I won’t lie though before I realized he was a senior and not being nefarious, I was ready to burn the place down 😂
