My little heart was beating and with the small amount of breath I had left in me I sobbed. "I'm 59 she's been dead for years you stupid bitch."
oh well with that language it proves that little boys aged nine are yet too old to be accompanying their mother's /nannies to the club.. should be going to the men's club at that point...
more than once i have had to go behind the curtains in the provided cubicles to avoid the pointed stares of "nine year olds" who clearly are not their age

Are you saying they are malnourished 16 year olds?

Re: Pool Pervert

When I was 16/17 we had our school carnival at the local pool. Our group of about 15 kids was sitting around our spot when we noticed that one of the girls in a one-piece had a boob hanging out the side, obliviously chatting away to us. After a combination of staring at the sky, the ground and ultimately the boob, one of the guys went up and casually said "Hey Kelly - you're boob's hanging out mate". She laughed, slotted it back it and once again balance was restored in the universe.

love it

We used to collapse laughing at school swim training because of all the guys with uncomfortable looks on their faces while they were standing on the dive boards... needless to say they were sporting School Regulation green banana hammocks of the Speedo nature

no balance in that universe... never seen so many guys with their hands kinda folded in front of their frontals and their cheeks glowing

yeah we were mean... mean!

Re: Pool Pervert

If someone was staring at my wife while we swam I wouldn't really care too much- hell, I like looking at her too.

Now, is some perv is checking out my kid while we're at the pool then we're going to have a little talk- and a private swim lesson .

When I was in college I guarded at this pool where I had this guy who used to stare at me while he swam laps. It was pretty creepy, but the other guards said he did that to all of them at one point or another. He would just swim back and forth in the lane in front of me staring at me every time he took a breathing stroke. I igonored him and he found another guard to look at after a short bit.

We had another LADY, at the same pool, who used to place herself in a strategic position over the water filter return jet on the side of the pool. That was crossing the line a bit too far and we would get the pool manager to remove her for the day- it's ok to love the water as long as you don't LOVE the water I'm swimming in.

I've never had a fight in the pool, but a friend of mine did while he was swimming laps one day. He just kept on swimming as this guy took a swing at him. Next lap back he just did a simple kick turn, into the guys chest, and kept on swimming without ever missing a beat. No reason to let someone ruin a perfectly good workout.

Jon

Re: Pool Pervert

I also think it depends on what they are doing. If someone is just staring, or making rude jokes with their friends, I wouldn't make a fuss about it. It could be a misunderstanding, and I wouldn't want to get someone into trouble unfairly. Maybe it's just a freediver getting some training done.

If someone is actually following me or someone else, and I am sure of it, I would ask them to stop or tell a member of staff. The same goes for making unacceptable comments. And of course, if someone is behaving suspiciously to children or other vulnerable people, I would report it immediately.

Re: Pool Pervert

That might horrify some innocent bystanders, and then they would be scarred for life.
Most importantly, if the perv is checking you out phibbyus, that might be seen as not as a deterrent...

Re: Pool Pervert

In that case, they might just gouge out their eyes, and the problem would be solved .

A womens definition of romance - when a guy she likes the look of gives her the eye.

Re: Pool Pervert

Is the closing of one eye a wink or a blink ? But if the guy is obviously getting off on something/making you feel uncomfortable then I would favour the pool brick option
