Lap Swimming Etiquette 101

Take a cleansing shower before swimming, after using the sauna and steam room

The nature of lap swimming is dynamic and can change throughout a workout The following guidelines will assist in making an effective and enjoyable experience for all

Bare feet or clean indoor shoes only on the pool deck

1

Select a lane containing swimmers moving as closely as possible to the pace that one realistically expects to swim throughout their entire workout

2

Keep right except to pass – no lane splitting

3

If you are constantly passing swimmers, move up a lane If you are constantly being passed, move down a lane

4

Use common sense, communication and respect to share the space as best you can… no one has a right to “own” a lane

No food, drink or glass on the pool deck/ change rooms No recording devices in the change rooms No water bottles in sauna or steam room 1.02 m+

Waterslide riders must be a minimum of 1 02m (40”) tall

75 cm+

Tot slide riders must be 75cm tall

When in doubt, talk to the people in your lane and, if all else fails, ask the lifeguard It is not the role of a lifeguard to “police” the lanes, but they are happy to answer questions about common conventions and provide suggestions for possible solutions

Lockers are for day use only
