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

  • When I swam in the Federal Way pool in November, I though the outside lanes had the potential to be faster than the inside lanes. I felt like I experienced less turbulence in the 100 free in lane 1 than I did in the 200 in lane 4. At Nationals I didn't notice any difference, but at least there was no noticeable disadvantage to being seeded in an outside lane. Great pool.
