Do you notice that mostly fat people swim in the pool at the gym?

And most normal people are on cardio machines but you still see a few fatties from time to time.

That's because they can still get a cardiovascular workout without the heavy stress on their knees that jogging would produce. Making fun of fat peopel at the gym seems pretty mean spirited.

Making fun of anybody is mean spirited....

Yes, I have. I can literally go MONTHS swimming at my gym pool before seeing any talent. It's about 80% old people doing their walking or whatever the hell they do as they slough their old person bits into water.

Fat people and nerds... The two last stereotypes that are socially acceptable to make fun of.

It's certainly not college whores any more... /whistling

People who do a million crunches and curls bother me more.

What?

Obvious answer
1) People who curl in the squat rack
2) People who ONLY curl
3) People who do ONLY arm exercises, most of which are a variation of curls.

By normal I'm assuming you mean skinny people? At my gym and every gym I've ever been a member of. Most get on a treadmill and go balls to the wall for about 3 minutes and get off. 20 minutes minimum's required to get any real benefit. And next to nobody does even close to that. Between them, and the muscle heads who do 800 bench curls nobody at the gym seems to know shit about how to work out.

Can never use the pool again. At the Y, I see fit people doing the laps. The fatties and older people do the water aerobic classes... They have their own section of the pool and the lap people have another and then another area for the little kids.

I notice that no one knows how to circle swim and they all feel like 1 person per lane is the maximum. We used to swim warm-ups for meets with 5-8 people in a lane. (8 is about 2 too many)

I even asked the gym to put up signs teaching people how to circle swim and gave them options that I had found that looked the best and got the runaround, "Yeah, we should put those up. That's a great idea." Still not there.

What I have noticed is that the New Year's resolution people have fallen by the way side. About time.

The problem with circle swimming is following the person that just sharted.
