poollane

Pool lanes are not all the same; they come in different designs depending on the pool’s purpose. Competitive swimming pools usually have standard lanes that follow international rules. Each lane is typically 2.5 meters wide with floating lane ropes to reduce water disturbance. Recreational pools, on the other hand, may have flexible lanes that can be adjusted based on crowd size or swimming programs. Lane dividers can vary in material and style. Common types include floating ropes with colored markers, soft foam dividers, or retractable barriers. The color coding of pool lanes often indicates speed or purpose. For example, blue lanes might be for slow swimmers, while red lanes are for fast swimmers or competitions.
