1.85

At one o'clock someone shouted everyone out of the pool, and those who had any idea of what time it was protested. We were shouted out again, so I turned around, hence the .05 lap. Lifeguards unhooked and began to wind up the ropes, with swimmers still protesting, and I picked up my pannier and helmet and towel and headed out. When I passed the lifeguard, he called, "Okay, sorry, go until 1:05 [the listed time] then." By this time, it was 1:03 and the ropes whipped snakily through the pool. Yeah, excellent for lap swimming. I would love for the pool to be staffed by anyone who didn't hate everyone over the age of 19.
