What are the ethics of ignoring the little balls of hair in the bottom of the deep end during lap swims?
Let me guess: Alaska Club. I surprised you can see the bottom of the deep end.
During Lap Swim:
- Focus, focus, focus! Get your laps in. Do not let bits of floating debris frighten you. At least the stuff that has been identified is harmless.
- You should point out debris to other swimmers only if it will ensure you a lane to yourself.
- You may scoop debris into an adjacent lane only if occupied by a competing NCC team member
- If you know in advance that an out-of-town NCC competitor is planning to show up then talk to management in advance to arrange for strategic placement of debris, or to stage a "diaper drill". Better yet, have 'em pull the ol' "Arctic Chill" trick (South AK Club only) and bring your wetsuit.
After lap swim:
- Once you unfocus, all those horrid repressed thoughts of the debris at the bottom of the pool will come rushing back in force. All I can say is eat lightly beforehand 'cause it ain't gonna' be pretty. Maybe management will get the hint.

Does Bunny know The Alaska Club's management? Because, really, I don't think they give a *BLEEP*.
Sorry, I know, some of you have sensative ears...
Of course, I still workout there... It's just so darn convenient... Where else can you find lap lanes so consistently at 5am or 7pm?
The things we go through to log a few more miles...
Unfortunately, management cannot be everywhere. However, the lifeguards can fish out the fur balls as can the instructors, if we are there. We are also very happy to sweep them into the lane of an NCC spy.
I have gotting little or not action from AK Club personnel in the past. I have been told things would happen, then nothing did.
The pool and hottub at the AK Club South are basically oversized bathtubs. Only about 10% of the users (and I am being generous) actually shower before entering. A number of those who don't come directly from another sweaty workout or the Sauna. The AK Club personnel can't be bothered to actually ask people (or just simply put up an easy to see sign asking people) to shower before entering.
