Lap Swim Etiquette

Just a few tips for lap swimmers so that everyone can enjoy the experience:
  • The pool is not available for recreational swimming during lap swim time.
  • Look for an open lane. Choose a lane that isn't occupied by another swimmer.
  • Enter the swimming lane at the shallow end.
  • If all the lanes are full you can wait for a lane to open or ask another swimmer to share a lane.
  • If you decide to share a lane, let the other swimmer know that you want to share. Try to share a lane with someone who swims at about the same pace as you.
  • If you are sharing a lane be aware of the other swimmer(s). Stop at the nearest end if someone needs to pass you.

Northview Swim Club has two lap swims scheduled each day during the swim season.
