lane swimming

Structured pool exercise

Lane swimming is a pool session where swimmers share the water by staying within designated lanes, typically swimming in circles or splitting the lane with others.

It contrasts with open swim, where the pool lacks lane divisions: The pool offers lane swimming from 6 to 8 AM.

The term is more common in British and Canadian English.
