Or more simply (and with fewer alterations to how swimming competitions work today), just have a couple of unused lanes on the outside of the pool.


This already happens in SCM and SCY competitions as many short course pools are just the short side of a long course pool.


To avoid turbulence, you'd have to skip lanes (or make them very wide) and allow enough space between the pool side walls and outermost lanes, right?


this is what is done in most major competitions already
