Olympic size swimming pools used to be eight lanes across until swimmers in the outer lanes (rightfully) complained they suffered more from waves returning from the sides. New Olympic sized swimming pools are now ten lanes wide and to keep the counting of the traditional eight as it was, the new lanes are numbered zero and nine.
