I've always thought you should wait on the left or the right but not in the middle. This assumption being backed up by the signs at London Fields which say not to wait in the middle. My thinking on this being being based on the fact you are always swapping from one side of the lane to the other (due to the aforementioned clockwise pattern).
But I have no idea what I'm doing and as others have mentioned the reality on the ground overrules any theory anyway. I just always try to wait right over to one side out of the way if I need a rest.
Ewan's rules are good. At the Olympic Pool last night all was generally good and there was much 4. in evidence: almost to the point of "no, after you" moments, but of course I'd rather have that than the opposite. Unfortunately the odd no. 6 going on but only the odd person.

Minor etiquette question...
Where should one wait? If the lane is swim to the right, do you wait at the end on the left (having moved over at the end of your length) or the right (as you would have ended up after your length without moving over)?
Or is there no correct answer?
