Lap Swim Etiquette
These are dedicated lanes for adults and youth over the age of 12 to swim laps. Please check the monthly calendar for the number of lanes available during lap swim and practice lap swim etiquette so that all swimmers can share and enjoy a safe swim experience!
SHARING LANES
Lap lanes are often shared, and each lane can accommodate multiple people. You are not guaranteed your own lane.
AWARENESS
Before entering, make sure the swimmers in the lane are aware of your presence to avoid collisions and to establish a swimming pattern.
ENTERING A LANE
When entering a lane with someone already swimming, always enter feet first — never jump or dive in.
LANE SPEED
If a lane is empty, feel free to use it. If all lanes are occupied, choose one that matches your speed. Take a moment to observe swimmers and their pace. If lanes are designated by speed, you may be asked to switch lanes accordingly.
PASSING
When passing another swimmer, always pass on their left side. If you are being passed, move close to the lane line and slow slightly to allow safe passing.
CONTINUOUS PROGRESS
Lap swimming requires continuous forward movement. Stopping in the middle of the lane is discouraged, please rest at the wall instead.
SWIMMING PATTERN
For 2 swimmers, splitting the lane, staying on the right or left is common. For 3 or more swimmers, circle swimming is standard; always stay on the right side of the lane.
