LAP & CIRCLE SWIMMING
- Select a lane compatible with your swimming speed.
- If two people share a lane, you may split the lane or circle swim.
- To enter an occupied lane, always alert the other swimmer & receive an okay.
- Enter the water feet first. Diving is not allowed.
- Butterfly & breast strokes are not recommended when sharing a lane. Please graciously adapt your stroke to accommodate others.
- Three or more swimmers per lane should circle swim. The customary traffic pattern is to stay to the right. That is, to swim in a counter-clockwise circle. (Treat the lane like a highway by swimming on the right-hand side of the lane according to your direction of motion.)
- Always swim complete laps of the pool. Avoid stopping in the middle of the lane, as this can interfere with the progress of other swimmers & cause collisions.
- Stop only at the wall & once stopped, stay in the corner of the lane.
- Slower swimmers must yield to faster swimmers.
- Be aware of your space in the lane & orientation of others. Allow others to pass you (at the wall) as needed.
- Do not tailgate. Provide adequate distance between you & the swimmer ahead of you.
