I have been swimming with my local masters for a year now. Our pool is six lanes. Lane 1 is the slowest lane and lane 6 is the fastest lane. It has been this way for years. It is usually two or three of us that are stuck in lane six against the wall. It has effected our stroke tremendously being against the wall. I never want to do any stroke other than freestyle. I have scraped and hit the wall numerous times trying not to hit other swimmers in my lane.
I know how lane designations are suppose to be setup. Usually the faster swimmers are in the middle and the slower swimmers are on the outside. This encourages a faster pool. Are there any articles that I can present to the other swimmers or does anyone have any advice? A recomendation that is probably going to be adopted is a weekly rotation of lanes. Confusing.
Thanks.
