Swim lane [n.]

1) Field of responsibility. 2) A specific segment of a business or market. “Listen, client management just isn’t in my swim lane.”

we have our own private swim lane and the rest of the world is playing water polo. I don’t know if you guys watched any of the Paris stuff but water polo is a nasty game. There’s a lot more going on underneath that you don’t see on top.
