The gutter is the channel along the side of the pool that holds excess water and surface waves. The new gutter system is lessening the wave energy and halts the bouncing waves that disrupt neighboring lanes.
Deep waterproof rows with drainage slots cause the water to flow smoothly, minimizing bumps and reflections. The design makes the system handle the waves with less difficulty for every swimmer. Effective gutter function keeps the conditions constant, meaning the swim cycle is faster and the competition is fairer.
