Lap Lane Availability
At Swirl we have a 25 metre, 6 lane swimming pool, heated to 28oC. We usually have 3 lanes set aside for lap swimming, 2 slow and 1 medium speed lane.
Lap Lane Availability
The Lap Lanes are availiable at all times except when there are GoSwim classes, during which only 2 lanes are available for lap swimming, 1 slow and 1 medium:
- Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 3:00pm - 6:00 pm
- Saturday 9:00am - 12:00pm
Lanes are also available for the public/schools to hire, this may impact on the number of available lanes.
Lap Lane Etiquette
To ensure your lap swimming session is a rewarding one, the following lap lane guidelines have been developed so that all centre users can experience the best visit possible:
- Show courtesy and consideration to others at all times.
- Comply with poolside signage.
- Select a lane based on your swimming speed and stroke selection (slow, medium). You may need to move to an alternate lane if you change strokes.
- Keep to the left of the lane.
- Take care when passing another swimmer. Always pass to the right and return promptly to the left of the lane.
- Allow faster swimmers to pass.
- To avoid congestion at the end of the lane, move to the corner of the lane
- During peak times avoid activities/drills that may disrupt other swimmers.
- Please co-operate with any requests made by the supervising lifeguard.
