How are swimming finals lane selected?
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.
What is heats in swimming?
A heat in swimming is like a group of swimmers swimming the same event. Since only a certain number of swimmers can swim at a time (depending on the number of lanes, usually 8) they have to have swim at different times and usually they place heats on how fast they swim. So, if you have the fastest time going into the race then you'd be in the last heat and if you have the slowest time going into the race then you'd be in the first heat. Also they place you in lanes from slowest to fastest (if you have the fastest time you go in the 4th lane and slowest goes in the outer lanes). Hope this helps.
