In Great Britain most pools have three lanes: fast lane(for free style), medium lane and slow lane.
Here in Germany pools aren't divided at all. People just swim anyway and anywhere they want to which makes it impossible to do proper work outs.
I had to join a private gym with a pool in order to do my work outs because public pools are a drag in Germany.
How are most public pools in the US? Do they all have a fast, medium and slow lane or does it depend?

In most towns I have lived in, PUBLIC pools are splasharound sites for kids. Sometimes there is a lane marked off for lap swimming, which gives the lifeguards an excuse for yelling at the kids to "stop hanging on the lane lines."
PRIVATE pools, like the YMCA or at a health club, generally have 4-8 lanes.
