Life in the Swim Lane

Swimming at the Adelaide Aquatic Center is a good experience on lane discipline. The 25m pool lanes were designated by swim speed - slow, medium and fast. All swimmers in the lane goes clockwise, sharing the lane. Even when there are four or five swimmers in each lane, somehow, there's no collision, fuss and problems. Swimmers automatically move up to a faster lane or down to a slower lane. Even if overtaking, swimmers do so quickly and on the lookout for others. It's that simple and that considerate.

A second good thing I learnt was how some swimmers would bring electrolyte drinks and leave them along the walkway. Hydrating even when swimming. Why didn't I think of that?

Yesterday's session: 50 laps
Last week's session: 40 laps
