In Olympic Swimming Pools there must always be 10 lanes. Although only 8 of these are used it still must have a lane rope between each lane, so there are 9 lane ropes used.
In a competition pool, the lanes are single color for the first and last 5 meters of a pool.
"On the ropes" is a colloquial term passed from boxing competitions, where a contestant was groggy, and holding onto the ropes round the ring for support. The implication is of being overcome, of weakness and distress.
A good resource for challenging physical courses in Canada is the Canadian olympic park. Many Canadian mountain/vacation resorts (such as Blue Mountain or Revelstoke) also offer ropes courses.
On the Ropes was created in 1999.
The duration of On the Ropes is 1.57 hours.

First off, there are static and dynamic ropes. Static ropes do not stretch and are mostly used for rappelling, hauling, fixed lines, and probably some other stuff I do not know about. This is because none of these activities involve large forces - such as what would be created during a fall. Dynamic ropes stretch, and are the main type of rope used for rock climbing. This is because they stretch to absorb the shock of the climbing rope. In fact, if I remember correctly, some rock climbing ropes can stretch to as much as 30% more than it's original length. Dynamic ropes come in a wide range of diameters and can also be divided into three categories - single ropes, half ropes, and twin ropes. One would choose a certain diameter and type of rope based on the activity they plan on doing.
