Circle Swim Guide

HOW TO GUIDE TO CIRCLE SWIMMING

Let’s share the lane smoothly and respectfully.

SWIM COUNTERCLOCKWISE

Stay on the right side of the lane—just like driving. This keeps traffic flowing safely and efficiently.

KEEP THE FLOW MOVING

Only enter when there’s enough space between swimmers.
Begin swimming when there’s a clear gap to avoid disruptions.

PASS WITH CARE

If you need to pass another swimmer, do so on the left side.
Be courteous—avoid splashing or swimming too closely.

LET FASTER SWIMMERS GO FIRST

Allow faster swimmers to pass at the wall when possible.
If you’re taking a break, move to the corner of the lane, not the center.

COMMUNICATE AND COOPERATE

Make brief eye contact or say a quick hello before joining a lane.
If things feel crowded or unclear, speak up politely.

TEAMWORK MAKES THE LANES WORK

When everyone follows the flow, lap swimming is safer, smoother, and more enjoyable for all.
