Germans + Swimming ≠ Ordentlich

Oh those silly Germans.

I went to swim laps at one of the nice indoor pools here in Hannover but it was incredibly chaotic. There were no lane lines but rather a large space for all swimmers, no matter your ability, and absolutely no order...a complete free for all! I was laughing so hard. At one point I was practically holding hands with another swimmer, more times than I can count on one hand I had to stop because I was behind slower swimmers or because I almost got run over by people swimming backwards. Oh my....I can't wait to go back, I love swimming!

I didn't know there were any "disorderly" Germans. I guess all the orderly Germans came to America. haha
