Early in the day is always better. Also I've never had them complain about what I've done in the lane. I took my son who is in to waterpolo and he was swimming with the ball while I was just walking by his side giving him pointers and they never said anything to us. I don't really know the best time. But when ever we went around 4, 5, or 6 in the evening they would have all the lanes blocked off even if they were not being used. We only went in the morning once around 10 and it was mostly empty. Hope that helps a little.
We try to always have lap lanes available when the pool is open. There are times of day that there may only be 1-2 lap lanes when we have swimming lessons, group exercise classes and/or swim team practice. You can do exercises in the lap lanes, but please be courteous if there are people swimming laps in the same lane that they are able to pass you.
Thanks so much Matthew. That does help. Appreciate your time!
