Swimming Lane Etiquette

All swimmers must shower before entering the pool.

All swimmers must follow the directional signs at the end of the pool.

Please use the most suitable lane for your speed and stroke, taking into consideration other users.

Please be aware of the lane pace, and judge your own ability accordingly.

Stay to the outside edge of the lane.

Be polite to swimmers of varying skill levels.

All faster swimmers to overtake at the end of each length.

If you find yourself catching up with a swimmer in front of you, give their toes a polite tap to let them know that you need to pass. Don't use rude gestures.

Please use caution when overtaking other swimmers.

Please give slower swimmers the opportunity to let you past. Do not harass or try to swim over them.

When lanes are busy, extra care is needed to avoid collision.

If you cannot keep up with the pace, please change lanes.

You will be asked to move lane if the lifeguard feels it's necessary.

The use of face mask, flippers or snorkels is prohibited.

Respect other swimmers personal space.

Above all... please use common sense and courtesy.
