Lane Etiquette   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #795 of 1235 |
I know we have had a lot of crouding this session (Triathletes,  open water and new swimmers).  So this is a reminder of lane etiquette:
  • Swimming in order of speed. If the person behind you is having to stop because you are slower, let them go in front.
  • If someone touches your feet don't stop in the middle keep swimming and stop at the next wall to let them pass. (Passing swimming should not stop at that wall.)
  • Step aside (to the left) at the wall so the in coming swimmers can swim ALL THE WAY to the wall.
  • Make room on the wall for swimmers to push off.
  • Circle swim at all times (unless directed by the Coaches) - This means swim on one side of the lane only. 
  • To go along with the about rule - Stay to the Right side of the Black line on the bottom and not on top of the line. 
  • If you have to stop, get out of the way of the person behind you.
  • Also only stop at the wall unless there in a emergency - anyone who stops in the middle should get pulled by the guard
  • Feet first entry at all times unless directed by a coach
  • Pulling on the lane line is NEVER allowed!!!
Sorry that last night was pretty frustrating due to the large number of swimmers. 
 
Coach Mike
