I was complained by two ladies in swimming pool

I am a regular swimmer. Got complained by two ladies who swim slowly and chatting side by side. The pool was busy and I had to occasionally swim between them. They asked the staff to talk to me saying they were there before me and I should move over in stead swim in between them. It was only a 20 meter public swim but they two occupied about two lane and swim very slowly. Be frank, I hate people swim and chat. When I swim freestyle I try to look but there might be one or two seconds that I was close to them but they have their heads up, insist swim side by side. I ask the staff, should he talk to them not blocking the whole two lanes? Annoyed! I probably need to get up at six to do the lane swim instead.

Hmm dunno the etiquette when it isn't lane swimming. I would presume if there is enough space to swim between them then YANBU, they don't get a private exclusion zone.

I don't swim, so I'm not sure what the etiquette or rules are, or if there are any rules. However, if the staff asked you not to do it as the result of their complaint, I would assume you shouldn't do it.
