Interessant, dass die Engländer auf der langsamen Bahn auf Rechtsverkehr setzen, nach dem Motto wer noch denken kann, schwimmt noch nicht schnell genug.

Die Erklärung dazu gibt es hier:
http://www.cartegic.com/poolentry.htm

"Adding to the variety (and making it all that more important to observe before starting to swim), many pools in the UK, alternate clockwise and 'anticlockwise' lanes, so that swimmers in adjacent lanes are always swimming parallel to one another rather than in opposite directions. This has the benefit of reducing the number of smashed hands, punches to the eye, and dislocated shoulders that can occur in collisions between oncoming swimmers whose wrists have the misfortune to lock together at the top of their opposing strokes."

Schade, dass wir das nicht in Deutschland haben.
