Reader Question: How Many Swimmers Should Workout in the Same Swimming Pool Lane?

A reader has some concerns and questions about their team, pool space, and what is appropriate. What do you think?

Our swim team has to renegotiate swim practice times in January. There is a competing team that wants the same practice times. We live in a small rural town and the town is not big enough for two teams (we can barely get kids to join the team now). How many kids should be swimming in one lane? Do you know of a fair equitable policy for practice time?
