Yeah… The only way you’re getting me into a “body of water” is if it’s got ceramic and a drain at the bottom of it.
Hard pass. From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Friday, March 29, 2019 1:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Swimming pool collision avoidance system? Hi Simon, When you talk about open water swimming, do you mean outdoor pools or lakes or the ocean? Of course many of us live in areas where it would be not possible to get to a lake or the ocean if it is nearby, without assistance simply because there may not be any public transportation going out to a lake that is maybe 10 or 20 Km away. Then there is the little issue of climate, maybe you live in a place that is warm year-round and where the water in any lakes or the ocean is warm enough to swim, but if I wanted to swim in a lake I'd need scuba gear and would have to chop a hole in the ice for 6 months of the year, but then again diving under the ice would probably not really qualify as swimming, either 🤣 Then for 4 out of the other 6 months I would have to wear a wetsuit or risk hypothermia! If the pool is nearby and convenient then I don't think it would be too much to ask to have them put in a lane a few times a week if one wants to swim for half an hour or even an hour.

Importance: High if possible, have you thought about switching to open water swimming instead? then, you would generally be in larger areas of water, and with fewer people around. also, hearing any other people would be easier, thus making avoiding them easier as well, as you don't get all of the noise and echoes that plague a lot of indoor pools.

I really enjoy and love swimming. I go swimming to my club where there is a 50 meter pool. Are usually try and go went there at the least number of people using the swimming pool. The swimming pool is 50 m long and 25 m wide with no lanes marked on it. Are usually swim very straight. If there is only one other swimmer in the pool, I have no problems in avoiding them. The problem arises when two or more other swimmers enter the pool. I am petrified of swimming either into them or having a head-on collision with them! 😱 When I have a buddy outside by the side of the pool, I would put on my AirPods and tape them to my year with waterproof tape. I would stay connected to my friends iPhone and he would pass instructions on who was swimming in front or behind me. Unfortunately I can’t have this arrangement all the time. Has anybody ever felt this problem? Is there some way that I can use to avoid colliding into anyone in the swimming pool without external help? -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
