PPrrooppeerr LLaapp SSwwiimmmmiinngg EEttiiqquueetttteeWith the growing number of members, we must take into consideration the swimming styles everyone. Some like to take iteasy and swim a nice, easy pace. Others can get their 20 to 25 laps accomplished in less then 25 minutes. So, let’s pleasetry to follow these few simple rules.

• Lap lanes are usually designated slow, medium and fast so you can match lanes to your speed.• Three or more swimmers in a lane must circle swim, keeping to the right at all times• When entering a lane or beginning a swim, enter so as not to disrupt the continuous swim of others.• If you change speeds (e.g., switch to a kicking set) a lane change may be necessary.• Be aware of passing procedures. If someone seems about to pass you or touches your toes, pull over and let them pass.• If you are continually being passed or passing others, a lane change may be necessary.• If you stop, squeeze into the left corner of the lane so that other swimmers have room for their turns.• If you use pool equipment, please return it to the proper storage area.
