Lap Swimming Etiquette 101
The nature of lap swimming is dynamic and can change throughout a workout. The following guidelines will assist in making an effective and enjoyable experience for all.
1. Select a lane containing swimmers moving as closely as possible to the pace that one realistically expects to swim throughout their entire workout.
2. Keep right except to pass – no lane splitting.
3. If you are constantly passing swimmers, move up a lane. If you are constantly being passed, move down a lane.
4. Use common sense, communication and respect to share the space as best you can… no one has a right to “own” a lane.
When in doubt, talk to the people in your lane and, if all else fails, ask the lifeguard. It is not the role of a lifeguard to “police” the lanes, but they are happy to answer questions about common conventions and provide suggestions for possible solutions.
