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.

Mr. Smith,
Your idea painted a hilarious picture in my mind :p I like it.
However, to be fair to us IMers, I do think that early bidding should take place for reserving a lane. They have that gold medal sponsorship (that I actually did this year, because I get hungry during the meet and have no food!) after all- why can't people pay to reserve a lane? I'll start the bidding for Lane 4 at $1.00.
And since I'm paying for the lane I'm using paddles and diving whenever I want!
:p
