  • If there are faster swimmers in the lane then keep an eye on how quickly they are catching you and let them past at the end of the length

    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?

  • Either, just not in the middle - Whoever is overtaking will be able to see you and hit the wall where there is space.

    If it's busy, queue up the lane if you have to, not across the back wall.

    If you do decide to stop in the middle, or queue across the wall, you may find someone's feet kicking past your face at speed, or someone pushing off hard against your balls.
