Best Answer

By the swimmer's seed times coming into the race.

The middle lanes are the fastest, and the outer lanes are progressively slower (that's why the swimmers often seem to be in a V shape)

To be specific, the swimmer with the fastest time swims in lane 4, 2nd fastest in lane 5, third fastest in lane 3 fourth fastest in lane 6 fifth fastest in lane 2 sixth fastest in lane 7 seventh fastest in lane 1 eighth fastest in lane in lane 8.

The competitors with the fastest qualifying times in the heats or semi-finals get the middle lanes, and lanes are assigned out from the middle in order of increasing qualifying time until the slowest qualifies get the outside lanes.

How many lanes in the 100 meter dash?

It depends on the pool. Most competitive swim meets take place in 8-lane or 10-lane pools. Meets taking place in 10-lane pools typically fill the entire pool for the preliminary heats. In other words, all 10 lanes are taken up by swimmers. However, in the semi-finals and finals, only 8 lanes are used. This keeps the two outside lanes empty. However, meets can take place in pools of any size. There can be 6-lane pools or 4-lane pools. It is not always the same.
