Pick the right lane
Choose a lane that roughly matches your speed
It’s fine to move lanes if needed
Stay flexible – different sets can change things
Go with the flow
Circle swim and keep left
Leave 5–10 seconds between swimmers
Try to stick with your lane’s set
Have a quick chat down the lane so everyone knows which set you’re on
Passing & pacing
If someone is on your toes, have a quick chat between sets about swapping order
Let faster swimmers through at the wall by moving to the left corner
On longer sets, passing may happen in the centre when safe
If the lane is busy, passing at the wall is easiest and safest
Don’t stress about order
Feel free to change the order within your lane
A quick “want to go ahead this set?” keeps things easy
At the wall
Move to the side so others can turn
Check behind before you push off
Rest out of the way
Take a breather
If you’ve been lapped (or nearly), it’s fine to pause
Jump back in on the next repeat or set
No stress – everyone’s been there
Be aware & be kind
Keep an eye on what’s happening in your lane
Be patient with different speeds and styles
A quick friendly chat solves most things
