FINA has used 10 lane pools since the Seoul Games in 1988. If you look at all the olympics since then, plus the World Championships, they have all used 10 lanes.
The U.S trials went to 10 lanes at the 2004 trials. 10 lanes isn't anything new for the Olympics.
Send me a link to any FINA LCM World Champs or Olympic Games or USA Trials that used 10 lanes for competition and I'll buy you a cold one the next time I see you.
