Oh, and the other lap swimmer just kept lap swimming...now and then she had to dodge a noodle or something, but she just kept going.
Matthew has even done lap swimming during open swim time...he did 15 laps the other day!
There aren't any indoor pools at home, but the Kiwanis club (spelling?) has an open swim hour during the summer.
It's always total chaos. Lots of kids just splashing around, mostly. I can't imagine anyone trying to do laps in the middle of it. It would be stoopid to try.
If you count a lap as down and back then 15 is a little more than the distance for (most) 'Sprint' distance triathlons.
