In pools with poor wave control the outside lanes are definitely slower.I have been in some pools where the waves in the outside lanes could knock you sideways. In pools with good wave control the difference is minimal and in some races may even be faster if the mid-lane swimmers are all about the same speed and there is a big backwash off the turns.
