Crowded lanes are no place for inflatable pool floats and even for those swimmers who like to swim in open free places. But if you are depended on the community swimming pool then there are going to be times when you will have to just adjust yourself in crowded lanes.

We do understand that swimming in crowded lanes is not easy and not for everyone especially the fast swimmers. But sometimes you just have to adjust yourself and make the most out of the day without letting the lazy swimmers get in your way and ruin the whole swimming experience for you.

Today in this article we are going to talk about some of the ways in which you can have fun even in crowded lanes. These tips will help you have a bit of fun and make the most out of the day that you thought would be not so great. So let us go ahead and look at these tips in detail.

1. Slow swimming

Crowded lanes are the best places to try out slow swimming. No swimmer wants to swim slow but if you want to work on your swimming techniques then you will need to swim a bit slower in order to get your body engaged and get the right muscles moving.

2. One arm drill

There isn’t enough room in crowded lanes for the motion of both the arms which is why you should try one arm drill to move yourself forward. So keep your one arm forward and one backward and push your body forward.

3. Dive under

Well, there isn’t going to be much space on the surface so if you want to have fun swimming then you can simply dive underwater and move at your own pace and only come to the surface for air. Keep your body streamlined to reduce drag and practice your kicks.

4. Backward swimming

People will be moving forward thus there would not be much room for you but if you move backwards then you will have plenty of room to move at your own pace and enjoy a bit free space. Backward swimming is fun and entertaining as well so you will have quite a lot of fun.

5. Fists and finder drills

Instead of using paddles, use your fists and fingers to move forward in water and push the water backward. Try to catch the water in between your fingers. Don’t punch it, just let your fists move freely through it.

6. Open water training

Crowded lanes can be used as a venue for practicing open water training. Try passing by people and then enjoying the free space ahead. Move pass them, or under them in different directions to get a grip on your balance and move pass hurdles.

7. Work on your kicks

Your legs are the source of force during swimming so get the most out of them. Practice your kicks in slow-moving lanes so that you can learn to move them without kickboards.
