Lap Swim

Lap Swim is a great way to practice strokes and stay in shape.

Lap Swim Tips/Etiquette*

  • First come, first serve for claiming open lanes.

  • All swimmers are expected to share lanes.

  • Let people know you are entering a lane by dangling your feet in the pool or standing at the end of the lane before entering.

  • Modest swimwear is expected.

  • Be respectful of others sharing your lane.

  • Rest in the corner of the lap lane.

  • Be mindful of others waiting for a lane (during crowded times limit your lap time to one hour).

  • Treat others as you want to be treated.
