Lap Lane Swimming Etiquette:
Please select a lane based on your speed - slow, medium or fast. If you are unsure, don’t hesitate to ask a
lifeguard for assistance. Be aware of the lane pattern before you jump in. Three or more swimmers in a lane
must swim in a circle, keeping to the right, while passing on the left of the swimmer in front of you. Swimmers may be asked to take as swim test prior to lap swimming. Please follow all lifeguard instructions, as
you may be asked, at times, to move into a different lane. Our lifeguards are here for your safety, please
respect the pool rules, and follow their directions.
