circle swimming/shared lanes.
Lap Swimming popularity has escalated
dramatically during the pandemic.
Therefore, we ask all members to please book
no more than 4 to 5 times per week and no more
than 1 hour each day.
Failure to comply may result in restrictions placed in the
appointment system to limit lane access.
- Please book 30 min. swim appts no more than 5 times per week
- Please book 60 min. swim appts no more than 3 times per week (be sure you need a full hour when booking 60 minutes)
- No Shows will be charged at $10
- As a courtesy to your fellow members, please don't overbook
