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.

Chuck me out - not check me out! I'm 63 so I doubt he'd do the latter! 😅

They're a pain in the backside. People go to swimming pools primarily to swim but obviously others are of the opinion that they can do whatever they want because they've paid to use the pool. People have no manners these days.

If they want to chat why don't they go to a cafe.
