Lane discipline is key to everyone getting the most from their session. We have some lane discipline standards that we would like swimmers to follow:
- No diving in unless told to by a coach.
- Always start from the wall and travel in the correct direction.
- Following swimmers must leave a 5 second gap before setting off.
- All correct turns must be carried out.
- No stopping mid length. Allow a swimmer to overtake at the end of the pool.
- Swimmers must overtake without tapping or grabbing the swimmer in front.
- All swimmers must finish at the wall and move to the side to allow the incoming swimming to touch.
- Only take the required rest.
- No sitting on the lane ropes or floats.
- No splashing or spitting.
- Pay attention to instructions. Ask coaches or poolside helpers if unsure about anything – do not stop other swimmers if you are in doubt.
- Respect all swimmers, leisure staff and the coaching team
- TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WISH TO BE TREATED!!
