Current protocols
Swimmers reserving this swim time should be competitive swimmers, comfortable swimming fast pace 3,000 yards (equivalent to 120 swim laps) during the reserved swim block. During this time, up to 6 swimmers of similar competitive swim abilities will swim together in 1 lane coordinating rests at similar times to allow for staggered rest times.Monday-Saturday, at times there are 5-6 lanes available for lap swim, we will accommodate circle swimming for up to 3 swimmers per lane in lanes 3 and 4 of the Brookside pool. Members should reserve this lane specifically using the Circle Swim reservation. During this swim reservation, swimmer should expect to swim in a circle rather than side by side, accommodating up to 3 swimmers in each swim lane.
Circle Swim Description
During this time, up to 3 swimmers will be swimming in 1 lane. Swimmers must swim on the right side of the lane, swimming counter clockwise (down on right, back on right) rather than side by side. The Aquatics team will do their best to coordinate swimmers of similar abilities accordingly. If a swimmer is joining the lane late, they must notify the other swimmers in their lane that they are joining the lane. Swimmers needing to pass a swimmer should tap the member in front of them gently on their foot to indicate they will pass them.
Monday-Saturday, the therapy lane should only be reserved for individuals requiring the chair lift or stairs to enter the pool, and/or for individuals engaging in water therapy such as water walking/running, water aerobics, or gentle swim therapy.
Safety is our top priority at the Y and we will continue to monitor procedures and regulations to make necessary changes if needed. We thank you for your continued commitment to the Y and hope that you will continue to have a great experience with us
