Field of Play
Pool sizes vary by school.
Some pools are 25 yards, while
others are 25 meters. Some pools
have as few as 4 lanes, while
others have up to 10. However,
they have several common features:
Lane lines: Divide
the lanes and reduce waves from
competitors.
Starting blocks: Elevated
steps from which swimmers dive
into the water to start a race
or leg of a relay.
Flags: Signal to backstrokers
that they are approaching the
end of the pool. Positioned
five yards from each end of
the pool.
Wall: A lap is the
distance from one wall to the
other, either 25 yards or 25
meters.
