Lap Lane Rules and Lap Swimming Etiquette
Please be courteous to other swimmers.
Unless the lane is empty, please swim and kick in a counter-clockwise circular pattern in the lane.
Observe the speed of swimmers in all lanes. Select the lane consisting of swimmers whose speeds are comparable to yours.
If you are the faster swimmer, wait for an appropriate time to pass so that it does not hinder another swimmer's pace.
If you must rest at the end of the lane, stand at the side corner by the lane lines as to not impede another swimmer's turn.
