To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all swimmers, please follow these lane swim guidelines:

• Choose a lane that matches your swimming speed in relation to others.

• Swim in a counter-clockwise direction, staying to the right side of the lane.

• Pass other swimmers at the wall when it's safe to do so.

• When resting, move to the corner of the lane to allow others to pass.

• Circle swimming is required unless otherwise posted.

Thank you for your cooperation.
