I came at a funny time. The cheap morning swim time was ending, so the ticket lady said,
"You'll have to get out of the water in 20 minutes."
"Can't I just pay full price"
"Of course"

So as the last morning swimmers left the pool, I began my swim. Suddenly I was all alone except for the lifeguards manning the pool vac.

It is nice to have the lane, and indeed the whole pool to yourself. But I definitely prefer swimming in a club. You don't communicate much while you're in the water, but in some way it's just nice to have the same people in the lane with you. They're not "in the way" we you go to make your flip turn, they are a part of the team, and it's nice that they are there.
