Ok, what do you call those floating ropes in lakes and pools that mark off the proper swimming area? I'm pretty sure they're not called buoys...what are they called?

And whatever the thread title may imply, "floating ropes" is not an acceptable answer.

Every resource i've been to online refers to them as 'floating ropes' or 'lane dividers'...

and btw, was this YOU who asked this question at yahoo???!!! - http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index ... 058AAHLC5L

And why do you care??? Do you swim often??? (I hope the answer is 'yes' to help me imagining you in tight trunks!!!...

Ah no, must just be a co-incidence - I just read the dudes profile and he's nothing like you!!!... I mean, he's talented and successful!!!
