Lip placement and size look fine to me. I gotta agree with NIB, try a lighter wood. Those hardwood dowels are fine for needles and may be poppers. Not the best choice for swimmers. You want a lighter wood for a swimmer. If you want to stick with dowels, look for poplar ones. Lighter than the hardwood ones, but not as light as cedar. Wouldn't be me first choice for a swimmer, but better than hardwood.
