SKWIM PLAYER COUNT: Determined
by "Lagoon" (pool) Size
Premier SKWIM is played in an Official Lagoon
size of 40 meters by 20 meters.
However, Competitive, Recreational, and Family SKWIM can
be played in a variety of pool lengths and lane widths (assuming
lanes are 6-8 feet in width). We refer to lane width because
lane locations are an easy place to connect the boundary sides
for SKWIM. You simply need 3 lanes to play SKWIM, or a
minimum width of about 18 feet.
