By Claire Russell, a Swimming World Intern.<\/em><\/p>\n

Most swimmers know that rush of energy that exhilarates you upon hearing the words: \u201cHeat sheets are out!\u201d You have the urgent pounding need to know exactly which lane you\u2019re in. This thrill of rushing over to the heat sheet to see which heat and lane you\u2019re racing in has never seemed to fade throughout your years. The simple number can automatically answer the questions: Am I the fastest? Am I the slowest? Am I in the middle of the pack? Even though a lane placement does not have any impact on the outcome of the race, somehow, it seems like a huge deal. We all secretly hope to be assigned to our favorite swim lane, which can be the middle for some and the outside for others. <\/span><\/p>\n

After years of discussion and debate on the topic of the \u201cbest lane\u201d with teammates, friends and coaches, we have come to the realization that you can tell a lot about someone\u2019s personality by their favorite lane.<\/span> Here is what we claim to be true based on an eight-lane pool. Which lane suits your personality?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Lane Four<\/b><\/h3>\n

Lane four is the fastest seed, and the swimmers who choose lane four live and perform for the spotlight. They typically have a lot of confidence and aren\u2019t afraid to be the fasted seed. The expectation to win and perform well doesn\u2019t hinder or stress their pre-race mental state – in fact, it kicks their energy into full gear. The pressure to win is what makes them ready to race, and being in lane four puts them in the best mindset to race at their fastest potential to finish first. I<\/span>n a race, lane four can be compared to the halftime show of the Super Bowl. Everyone is watching it and expects greatness.<\/p>\n

Best qualities: Competitive, Confident, and Powerful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lane Five<\/b><\/h3>\n

Lane five is the second-fastest seed: the top seeded underdog of the race. This lane still provides the same advantage of being one of the fastest inside lanes while also giving the swimmer full view of the competition as they breathe to each side. The swimmers in lane five tend to enjoy the spotlight a little, but not to be the main attraction. They would want to play lead guitar in a rock band but not be the featured singer on stage. <\/span>These swimmers still have a strong chance to win, but the heat isn\u2019t counting on them to finish first. A little pressure drives their competitive edge, but they prefer not to go into a race with the cards of winning slightly in their favor.<\/p>\n

Best qualities: Driven, Confident, and Eager.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lanes Three and Six<\/b><\/h3>\n

Lanes three and six are technically the third and fourth seeds of the heat. They are expected to finish somewhere in the the middle and are positioned next to the top two seeds in their heat. These swimmers don\u2019t want the main spotlight, but don\u2019t want to be on the outskirts either. We would consider these lanes to be like the middle children in a family. Lanes three and six are still in the top four seeds of the heat, so don\u2019t count these lanes out of giving the top seeds a little challenge. They do enjoy the pressure of being in the middle of the pool, and these swimmers have a passion to hang with the top.<\/span><\/p>\n

Best qualities: Diligent, Committed and Strong.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lanes Two and Seven<\/b><\/h3>\n
\"\"

Lanes two and seven are on the slower end of the heat; however, they aren\u2019t the slowest seeds. Lanes two and seven don\u2019t thrive on the pressure to win their heat and prefer to be the underdogs. They still have someone to race on either side, revealing how competitive these swimmers are. These swimmers love to be the long-shot in the heat and aren\u2019t afraid to give the top seeds a run for their money. They\u2019re confident in their swimming ability and don\u2019t need a middle lane to win.<\/span><\/p>\n

Best qualities: Persevering, Hardworking, and Fun.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lanes Eight and One<\/b><\/h3>\n

Lanes eight and one are on the outside – the two slowest seeds of the heat. The swimmers in these lanes are the absolute underdogs of the race. Lanes eight and one in swimming are like the fifteenth and sixteenth seeded teams selected for March Madness in college basketball. As you all know, we should\u00a0never<\/em> count out those teams, as there are always upsets. These swimmers love a good challenge and prefer to be the slowest going into the race. They race at their best with the mentality of nothing to lose and everything to gain. The opportunities are endless to move up in the heat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Best qualities: Competitive, Passionate, and Resilient.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Final Verdict<\/b><\/h3>\n

Although it is our philosophy that you can tell a lot about a person by their preferred lane, that doesn\u2019t mean that one personality is more advantageous than the other. It’s true when coaches say that lane four is no shorter than lane eight. Every time that beep goes off and the swimmers dive in the water,\u00a0every<\/em> competitor has a chance of winning regardless of their lane assignment. We should never be discouraged by the lane we are in, because in the end, the will to win means more than the lane that you are in. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
