Lane Etiquette:

Pre-Swim:

I will strive to arrive on time and stay until the completion of the workout.
I will help with set up, lane rope removal and the return of equipment.

Choose a lane:

I will begin my workout in my normally assigned lane unless instructed otherwise by the coach.

Circles:

Swimmers will swim circles in correct direction unless instructed by the coach.
I will attempt to swim in a manner that minimizes the risk of contacting and possibly hurting other swimmers in my lane and adjacent lanes.
I will use caution when diving into the water to avoid contacting the pool bottom or other swimmers.

Lane Leaders:

I understand that the fastest person for the set should lead, understand the set and pace time.
I understand that I will leave 5 seconds after the start of the swimmer ahead of me unless instructed otherwise by the coach.

Overtaking:

If there is a slower swimmer ahead of me, I will touch the slower swimmer’s foot to indicate my desire to pass at the end of the length.
I understand if I am being passed, I will move over or stop at the wall to allow safe passing of the faster swimmer.

Turns:

I will move to the other side of lane and push off straight.
I will exercise caution when conducting flip turns to avoid contacting any swimmers who may be located at the end of the pool.

Finishes:

When I stop, I keep the ends of the lane clear to allow continuing swimmers’ space to turn and/or to completely finish their set.

Breaks:

If I require a break, I will rejoin the set in progress. I will not start where I left off before my break.
If I remain in the water during the break I will ensure that I do not interfere with the other swimmers in my lane.
