Etiquette:
- If the lane is empty, don’t worry about what part of the lane you’re swimming in.
- If there’s already 1 swimmer in the lane, ask if you can split the lane. Essentially, you will stay on one half of the lane both up and back and the other swimmer will do the same.
- With 3 or more people in a lane, you will be circling which means you will go up on the right and down on the left, just like driving.
- In choosing a lane, I generally try to gauge the speeds of the other swimmers and try to fit myself in a lane where I’m about the same speed. If you’re circling, it can be frustrating if you’re either faster/slower than the other swimmers.
- Always make sure a swimmer knows you’re entering because it’s amazing how much tunnel vision you have when you’re in the middle of a workout.
- The Wilson pool is 25 yards (half an Olympic which is 50 meters).
- Location of backstroke flags can vary. Generally about 5 yards.
