Any thoughts as to whether the outer lanes are a disadvantage in competition?

  • Generally, all the wake generated from the swimmers on your side of the pool gravitates out toward your lane, and then bounces back in from the wall. If there are overflow gutters, that minimizes the bouncing back, but you still have to swim through it. I'd say that is a disadvantage.
