It seems like if you want to absolutely guarantee not swimming in an outside lane you should enter yourself with a ridiculously fast time, not a sandbagged time.
.
That would also guarantee one a PB .......... drafting off the two faster swimmers on either side of one.
Another plus is, if you're really, but really, sloooooooooooooow, you'll be swimming---way behind---in calm water (except for that one point in time, half-way down the pool where you're going in one direction and everyone else is already 25m from their finish).
