Keep your pets out of the swimming pool! Yes, it has been done and it's a very good way to make neighbors mad at you.

Parents, lifeguards are not babysitters. When we have 500 other persons in our areas, it is difficult to see every person. Also, if a lifeguard asks you not to do something, please listen. Again, parents, watch your children. Parents who do not watch their children give lifeguards a heart attack. When we enforce a rule, please understand that we didn't make the rule, we are just there to enforce it. We get yelled at by angry patrons about 10 times a day, so think about if you were in our shoes before you yell at a lifeguard.

Another option (rather than circle swimming) is if you are in a lane with only one other person, split the lane down the middle so one person is on the left and the other is on the right. This way if you are going at different speeds you won't interfere with each other. Obviously this only works for two people sharing a lane.
