Lap Swim Etiquette Tips:
These lap pool etiquette tips will ensure you have a good experience with your fellow lap swimmers.

1. Choose Your Lane Carefully
If it’s a busy day at the pool, you may not get a lane all to yourself. Lanes can easily accommodate more than one swimmer.

2. Stay to the Right
Once you’ve joined a lane, you’ll want to stick to the right side for the entirety of your workout. This is known as circle swimming, meaning you circle the lane in a counterclockwise motion, always sticking to the right-hand side. Don’t cross sides or lanes unless you’re sure you won’t be disturbing anyone.

3. Give Others Space
Polite swimmers give everyone plenty of space in the pool. Don’t crowd in on someone if you’re sharing a lane. Wait about five seconds after the last swimmer has passed before getting in the pool.

4. Allow Others to Pass
Likewise, you want to allow others to pass if they’re swimming at a faster pace than you. Someone may want to pass. Allow them to pass by stopping at the nearest wall.

5. Keep Straight
It may be difficult at first, but it’s important to stay on a straight path when swimming laps. Try looking down at the line on the bottom of the pool or look up at a specific spot outside the pool for reference.

6. Rest in the Corner
If you’re a new swimmer, you’re likely to get tired during your workout. Take a break by resting in the shallow end of the pool.

7. Push Off Underwater
Other swimmers will appreciate your consideration when you push off underwater, minimizing splashes and big waves.
