one of many lanes in a competition pool is about 10 feet wide. though I have been in one lane pools of 8 foot width that work just fine. one reason for the extra width in the multi lane pool is that when in heavy use, there is some overlap of hands/arms and the width is useful to avoid collision. also, during competition, the lanes are wide so that swimmers cannot draft off of one another. hope this helps aloha

The following information is from the following pdf: http://www.competitorswim.com/technical/2005_FINA_Facility_Rules.pdf
"FR 2.5 Lanes shall be at least 2.5 metres wide, with two spaces of at least 0.2 metre outside of the first and last lanes."
The width of a lane in a swimming pool is 2.5m. During training a swimmer will use half of the lane and the other is for the other swimmer. They will rotate between lanes, by right hand will swim down and the left side will swim up.
it depends on if it is a 50 meter pool or a 25 meter pool either way the width is 2 m.
The width of a swimming lane is generally between 3 and 4 feet. This is to give the swimmers enough room to move without running into each other.
