lanesort
/ˈleɪnˌsɔːt/nounVerified NewThe silent speed-based sorting of swimmers into lanes at a public pool.
Nobody posts the system; everybody reads it — fast lane, medium lane, and the lane where heads come up a lot. Lanesort fails only when one swimmer declines to be sorted, which the water makes obvious within a length.
Etym. — lane + sort: the pool as a self-organizing database.
Rel. — pacecaste
