*LAP SWIMMING
Lap Swimming is intended for participants ages 18 and older who wish to swim continuously in a designated lane.

*LAP SWIM ETIQUETTE

Following these guidelines helps ensure a safe, respectful, and enjoyable experience for everyone using the lap lanes.

*1. Choose Your Lane Carefully
When the pool is busy, you may need to share a lane with other swimmers. Please choose a lane that best matches your swimming pace and ability.

*2. Stay to the Right
When sharing a lane, use circle swimming by staying to the right side of the lane and swimming in a counterclockwise direction. Avoid crossing into another swimmer’s path or changing lanes unless it is safe to do so.

*3. Give Others Space
Please be mindful of other swimmers and allow adequate space between you and the swimmer ahead of you. When entering a shared lane, wait approximately five seconds after the last swimmer passes before entering the water.

*4. Allow Others to Pass
If another swimmer is moving at a faster pace, allow them to pass. When appropriate, stop at the nearest wall and allow the faster swimmer to pass before continuing your swim.

*5. Keep a Straight Path
Try to maintain a straight swimming path throughout your workout. Using the line on the bottom of the pool or a fixed point outside the pool can help you stay properly aligned.

*6. Rest in the Corner
If you need to take a break, rest in the corner of the lane near the wall so you do not interfere with swimmers who are continuing their workout.

*7. Push Off Underwater
When possible, push off the wall underwater to help minimize splashing and waves and provide a smoother experience for other swimmers sharing the lane.
