Impossible to confuse it with any other type of pool, the swimming lane is recognizable at first glance. Intended primarily for the most athletic among us, the swimming lane is increasingly appealing, and we will see that the reasons are actually numerous!
Characteristics of a swimming corridor
As its name aptly suggests, a swimming lane is a long, narrow pool . In terms of size, it is common to find pools with a length of 15 to 20 m, and sometimes even 30 m. A swimming lane rarely exceeds 3 meters in width to maintain this aspect of length. A swimming pool par excellence, a lane has a flat bottom with a shallow depth, of the order of 1.20 m to 1.50 m.
The advantages of the swimming corridor
The swimming corridor is particularly designed for athletes who can swim lengths without turning around after just a few strokes. The reasonable depth of the pool will also allow you to practice other sports activities, such as aquagym or aquatic hiking.
However, this is not the only argument put forward by the swimming corridor, which also defends itself very well in terms of design. The slender side of the pool makes it an excellent candidate for long plots of land, and it is clearly a must for houses with modern lines!
The disadvantages of the swimming corridor
The ultimate sports pool , the swimming lane is less suited to the needs of a family . First of all, the flat bottom does not allow it to adapt to everyone's size, and especially to the smallest ones who have feet.
The essential accessories for the swimming corridor
To equip your swimming lane , you have the choice between several pieces of equipment to give an even more sporty look to your pool. Here is our selection:
Swimming against the current
Do you want to make your swimming lane a real training and swimming spot ? Equip your pool with counter-current swimming equipment. Its operating principle is simple: a water current is created, which allows you to either swim continuously in place or go against the current.
Little bonus, the nozzle can also be used as a massage system !
The diving board
The diving board is the essential accessory of a swimming lane , the one that will give you the impetus to start your series of lengths well. And not insignificantly: it will allow your lane to definitively resemble an Olympic swimming pool.
The pool robot
The volume of water used by a swimming lane is often the greatest fear expressed when developing a swimming pool project. In reality, since the swimming lane is shallow, the volume of water is not much greater than a so-called classic swimming pool. The level of maintenance is therefore roughly the same, your pool robot will not complain!
Legislation for swimming lanes
In terms of legislation, a swimming lane is subject to the same obligations as any other swimming pool , namely those relating to safety.
There are several solutions, such as installing an alarm to detect a fall into the pool, or installing a cover, whether it is a bar or shutter type .
