LAP SWIM GUIDELINES

PRIORITY LANE USERS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

First – Member
Second – Spouse
Third – Dependent
Fourth – Guest

1. Always get down the water feet first and give way to other swimmers occupying the same lane.
2. Entering swimmers should allow incumbents a few laps before expecting them to give way. Incumbent swimmers have an initial right-of-way, but not a right to “own” the lane indefinitely or to insist in their own rules.
3. Swim in the correct lane for your speed based on those already swimming. In general, faster lanes are to the left (when facing the pool, back towards the Lanai Extension) and slower lanes are to the right.
4. Stay in your lane. Be aware of others in your lane and in the lane next to you.
5. Lifeguards may assist you in selecting the appropriate lane or may ask you to transfer lane if your speed is dissimilar to those in your lane.
6. Alert the lifeguard/pool attendant that you are a “serious” swimmer to prompt some extra caution on his part in maintaining the integrity of lap lanes.
7. Resting swimmers should specifically avoid standing or floating in the middle of the lane as this interferes with swimmers “swimming through” who need to tag or flip at the wall. If the lane is crowded, other swimmers may need to rest away from the end walls along either side of the lane.
8. Swimming pool toys such as inflatable chairs/lounger, ducks, boats, etc. are prohibited on the lap lanes. The said toys are only advisable at the Kiddie Pool.
9. Leisure lanes will be provided whenever possible.
10. Please refer to any concern you have while swimming to the lifeguard/pool attendant so that they can ensure that the lap lanes are running smoothly.
