Can you swim laps on a cruise ship?

Diving and jumping is not permitted; you are welcome to swim laps, but each lap will be short, and the pools will likely be crowded at peak hours. A handful of cruise ships also have a secondary pool area at the back of the ship, overlooking the wake, and some have a swim-against-the-current pool for laps.
