Lap Swim Etiquette

To make everyone’s time more enjoyable at lap swim please read these suggestions and consider them when you are at the pool.

Swimmers should observe and respect the pace and workout routines of other swimmers in their lane - especially when circle swimming - avoiding actions that are likely to interfere with those routines. Examples include:

1) Slower swimmers starting a set should wait to push off the wall until faster swimmers have passed (i.e. don’t push off right in front of a faster swimmer who’s coming into the wall about to turn, as this blocks the faster swimmer). Slower swimmers should push off almost immediately behind a faster individual or group, thus extending the time until they are lapped again and need to stop.

2) Faster swimmers starting a set should give slower swimmers as much “running room” as possible before pushing off, (rather than jumping right behind and immediately tapping their toes to move over.)

3) Allow swimmers doing faster strokes to go ahead. For example, those swimmers doing breaststroke, stroke drills, or a using a kickboard should stay aware of the likely need to give way to swimmers doing freestyle - usually a faster stroke.

4) Try to select or negotiate workout routines complementary to others in the lane. For example, a set of short backstroke sprints may be difficult to weave in with others who are already doing a long, steady freestyle set without interfering with each other.
5) Swimmers resting or otherwise waiting at the wall should stay far to one side of the lane, (preferably at the left from the perspective of an approaching swimmer, or the right from their own perspective looking back up the pool). Resting swimmers should specifically avoid standing or floating in the middle of the lane as this interferes with swimmers "swimming through" who need to tag or flip at the wall. If the lane is crowded, other swimmers may need to rest out away from the wall along either side of the lane.

6) When circle swimming, swimmers should never stop in the middle of a length (e.g., to adjust goggles), as this may cause a trailing swimmer to run into them. Unless one is swimming in 'split' format or alone, it's best to continue to the wall and stop there. If the loss of a contact lens is at stake, it's easy enough to close one or both eyes for a few strokes and swim by 'feel' to the wall.

If the pool is busy (i.e., three or more people in most lanes), those swimming in lanes by themselves or with one other person may want to continue circle swimming even after a third swimmer leaves their lane (since others will likely join the lane again soon, requiring a switch back to circle swimming anyway.)
