ABOUT LANE 3 NATION

When the Lansdowne Swim Team was winless in the B Division and preparing to swim against another winless team to see which team moved to the C Division, each practice was tense. One day Coach Tara called for a kick board relay in Lanes 3 & 4. As each team got tired and quiet, she announced that winning wouldn’t be enough. The team that cheered the loudest, and kicked the hardest would be victorious. With that, Kyle Johnson hopped up on the Lane 3 starting block and screamed, “Lane 3!” to which his relay replied “Ahhhhhh!” We won the last meet of that season, stayed in the B Division, then went on to win the B, and then win the A the last 4 swim seasons. Lane 3 means cheering for your teammates is the most important thing at all times: meets, practices, always.
