Lap Swimming Etiquette

When the pool isn’t busy you may be able to use your own lane. When it is peak times you will be required to either share with another swimmer or wait until lap space becomes available. If you have any questions please direct them to the amenities office.

• Survey the swimmers already in the lanes and determine where you would best fit in relation to your own skill level.
• Approach the current swimmer(s) of your intent to join the lane by trying to get their attention when they near the wall, as to not disturb them mid pool.
• Typically, a lane shared by 2 swimmers will be split and each swimmer will stay on the same side of the black stripe for the duration. A lane shared by more than 2 will require “circle swimming” in which ALL swimmers in that lane stay to the right. You will go down the pool on one side of the black stripe and come back on the other.
