Workout Etiquette

Our swimmers range in their ability and fitness level, from beginners to serious competitive swimmers. Please follow these guidelines in order to make workout sessions safer and more pleasurable for all swimmers.

General Team Guidelines:

1. Don't stand in front of the pace clock.

2. If you need to stop, squeeze into the corner to the right of oncoming swimmers, so they will have sufficient room to turn.

3. At all times be aware of what is going on within your lane.

4. Try not to kick or swing your arms into another lane while swimming or at the wall.

5. When you are late, and the lanes are full, you will have to join the workout at it's current point, rather than from the beginning.

6. When a person in your lane appears unsure of the rules, please bother to explain, in a polite manner.

You got to be careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there.
