Default Swimming Laps-Pool Etiquette

I'm interested in adding swimming to my efforts to improve my fitness. What is the proper etiquette for joining the group that is already in the water?

Are there "fast" lanes for the more accomplished swimmers, and "slow" lanes for the beginners?
What do you do if you are slower than the swimmer behind you? What do you do if you are faster than the swimmer in front of you and you see yourself gaining on that swimmer?

If there are any swimmers out there, please share any advice you have for a newbie.
