middle lane it can be anything 4 5 6 then 5 would be the middle laneAnswerWhile training, it is a good idea to put fastest swimmers in a lane at on outside lane, and have the slowest in the outside lane at the opposite side of the pool (i.e. in a 6 lane pool, lane 1 is fast and lane 6 is slow, or visa versa (depends on the coach)). If your team includes very inexperienced swimmers, they may get both outside lanes so that they may have the comfort of the wall to grab onto. Also, most more experienced swimmers would rather not swim near the wall for space reasons and the choppiness of waves bouncing off the wall.

However, in a swim meet, the fastest swimmer is always in the middle lane, lanes 3 or 4 if it is 6 lane pool, lanes 4 or 5 if it is an 8 lane pool, then slightly slower swimmers on either side of the fastest seeded swimmer as to create a v formation during the meet (a little more exciting to watch in a meet).

I am a competative swimmer, and i only know several different types of training, but in meets i know that is fairly standard. Other training techniques by other people may stray from the training lane assignments i told above, but that is usually how my coaches have had swimming set up.

the reason is so that all the swimmers can see the fastest person. If the fastest were to be in an outside lane, they could only be seen by the person next to them.

The swimmers with the fastest seed times are assigned to the middle lane.

That is to say, the swimmers that have the best chance of winning are put in the middle lane, so it's not the lane that's better, it's the swimmers.

Because their dicks are too big for the outside lanes. This is especially true for female swimmers.
