1. Community Aquatics — Lap Swim Etiquette, Lockers & Sauna Use
Notice: Community Aquatics Center Webpage
Section: Lap Swim Etiquette, Lockers & Sauna Use
Lap swim lanes are marked FAST, MODERATE, and EASY; choose the lane that best matches your pace. To ______ (1) lane assignment and reduce mid-lane conflicts, enter from the shallow end, start at the wall, and pause at corners to allow faster swimmers to pass. When three or more are sharing, use counterclockwise circle swimming; pass at the wall, not mid-lane. Kickboards and pull buoys are permitted only in the far-right lane during peak hours. Keep the deck clear—store fins and bottles in the cubbies and walk, never run, between lanes. Children may lap swim if they can continuously complete 50 meters without assistance.
Last week, lifeguards noted head-on encounters from “split-lane” attempts and several slips caused by gear left on the deck. ______ (2), circle swim is mandatory during busy sessions, and deck clutter will be cleared to the storage rack. Shower quickly before entry to maintain water quality, and avoid strong fragrances. Lockers use four-digit day codes; please remove items before closing. Sauna use is limited to 10 minutes per round; sit on a towel, stay hydrated, and allow the door to close gently—no stretching across benches.
Arrive ______ (3) 10 minutes before your reserved slot to rinse, select an appropriate lane, and secure valuables. Headphones are required for personal audio; photography on the pool deck is not permitted. Report frayed lane lines or loose tiles to staff immediately. ______ (4)
