Lane Etiquette

Swimming

Swim only in the lane you've pre-registered in. This is a requirement for contact tracing.
Swim up the right hand side of the lane, and back on the left hand side of the lane along the black lines on the bottom of the pool (circle swimming).
Always swim complete laps. This keeps other swimmers from having to guess the movements of others in the lane which is safest.
All swimmers must make an effort to be aware of those around them and share the space appropriately.
Slower swimmers should avoid pushing off in front of faster swimmers.
Faster swimmers should wait to push off behind slower swimmers to create some space between you.
Five (5) second spacing is recommended for lanes in which swimmers are moving at the same speed. For lanes that have swimmers of multiple speeds, use your best judgement to determine spacing.

Passing

If you have to pass someone, pass to the left as quickly as possible before returning to the black line.
If you are being passed, allow the swimmer to pass you quickly. This keeps the middle of the lanes open for others to pass and assists in keeping everyone safer during their workout.
Some swimmers may tap your foot to indicate that they are about to pass you. This is meant to communicate the intent to pass only. It is inappropriate to grab the foot or ankle for this intention.

Turning

Be aware of others when performing flip-turns. If you are unable to safely turn, touch the wall and turn around.
In Double Lanes, it is recommended that you slide along the wall and push off on the black line if possible. This helps keep the middle of the lane open for swimmers who are passing others.
If you are stopped at the wall, make sure you move out of the way to allow others the space they need to turn.

Lane Etiquette works when everyone does their part. Have a great swim!
