How about this year we don't dedicate so many lanes to slower swimmers in warm up. Last year there were about 4 end lanes out of the total 16 lanes dedicated to the slowest older swimmers. That's 25% of the entire warmup space ! We need a better way to keep the slow people in the slow lanes and the faster people in the faster lanes during warm up. Warm up turns worthless after the first 10 minutes. John Smith

    How's this...... we designate an outside lane for breastrokers and the slowest people. Then, we outlaw kicking during warmup. Forget the kicking, it just isn't feasible with 15-20 people in a lane. Then, if your fast you get into one of the middle 6 lanes left in the pool. If your slow and you start getting passed, you work your way toward the outside lanes of the pool. Finally, if you stop and chit chat, get your butt over to the side and get out of the way so people can flip. There ! ..... how's that?
