In Swimming the pools are about 50 meters long with a minimum of eight lanes each from 7 to 9 feet wide. The water temperature is regulated and must be keep 77-80*f degrees and judges stand at every end of the pool making sure they do not cheat like swim wrong or kick off the wall wrong and we Americans are very good at swimming that’s is why I picked for one of my sports.
