Etiquette

1. When entering a lane with other swimmers notify them that you will be joining them. It is generally not possible to have a lane to yourself.
2. With two swimmers in a lane, swimmers may choose to swim on a side of the lane or circle swim. Ask the other swimmer which method they would like to use.
3. If there are three or more swimmers in a lane, circle swimming must be used. Circle swimming is done by swimmers swimming in a counterclockwise direction within the lane. In other words swimmers always stay on the right side of the lane, similar to cars on a road.
4. Be aware of what is going on in your lane. If a swimmer behind you touches your feet or looks as though she or he may catch up to you on the next lap, stop at the wall and wait for them to pass you. Slower swimmers should yield to faster swimmers.
5. Swimmer's stroke must stay within their space.
6. If you stop at the wall for any reason, squeeze into the corner of the lane so that other swimmers have ample room for turns.
7. Try not to stand in front of or block the view of the pace clock.
8. When finished using Fairmont Aquatic Center's equipment (paddles, pull buoy, kickboard, etc.) replace the items in their proper place so others may use them.
