How many lanes in the 100 meter dash?

It depends on the pool. Most competitive swim meets take place in 8-lane or 10-lane pools. Meets taking place in 10-lane pools typically fill the entire pool for the preliminary heats. In other words, all 10 lanes are taken up by swimmers. However, in the semi-finals and finals, only 8 lanes are used. This keeps the two outside lanes empty. However, meets can take place in pools of any size. There can be 6-lane pools or 4-lane pools. It is not always the same.

Swimming pool for conducting swimming competition?

As far as I know, regulation dimensions for a short course pool is 8 lanes wide by 25 yards long. Long course pools are 8 lanes wide by 50 meters long. However, I have seen a lot of competitions in 6-lane pools, and some in 10- or 12-lane pools. One time, I went to a swim meet in a 4-lane, 20-yard pool, but that was pushing the limit.
