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.
