The other obvious explanation is the pool is shorter in one direction than in the other. I just hope they measured it both ways! :bolt:
I was thinking about this some more and if the pool really does have a clockwise current then it would be advantageous in the 50 free to be in lanes 0-2 or thereabouts. Which Cullen Jones and Kara Lynn Joyce both were when they made the Olympic team. Also, during my 1500 I removed my cap at the 700 mark and by the end of the race it had wandered from lane 2 over to lane 5, consistent with a clockwise current.
