Lap Swimming Etiquette for a Shared Space
To ensure a positive experience for all swimmers, please adhere to our lap swimming rules and etiquette. We believe in creating a respectful and cooperative environment in the pool.
- Shared Lanes: Remember you are sharing the lane with others. Cooperation is key to a smooth swim for everyone.
- Swimmer Awareness: Be mindful of other swimmers in your lane.
- Passing Protocol: When passing, please modify your stroke to avoid contact. Absolutely no passing in the middle of the lane to prevent collisions.
- Resting at Ends: If possible, avoid resting at the same end of the pool as another swimmer. Maintain a 6-foot distance if resting near others.
- No Deck Congregating: Please refrain from gathering on the pool deck or in locker rooms to maintain space and comfort for all.
- Circle Swimming: In lanes with multiple swimmers, circle swimming in a counterclockwise pattern is required for similarly paced swimmers. This allows more swimmers to share the lane effectively.
- Yielding to Faster Swimmers: If a faster swimmer approaches from behind, stop briefly at the wall to allow them to pass. This is standard practice in public lap swimming pools.
