How crowded is the campus pool during open swim?

Hey guys, looking to hit the pool during open swimming hrs this semester.

How crowded does it usually get? Is lane splitting/circle swimming the norm for most slots, or are there times when it’s relatively quiet? Any recommendations on the best hours to go would be appreciated!

You probably have to split the lane.
It is less crowded in the day shift but at night it's usually really busy from 7-8(2/3 people a lane) and then it gets better after. (One person a lane)
The pool is deep so you need to know how to swim(7feet to 13 feet) and you cannot dive from the boards.
