Slow swimmers must yield to faster swimmers.

Be aware of the space in your lane and
orientation of others. If you are approaching
the wall and another lap swimmer is gaining on
you and swimming at a faster rate than you are,
pause at the wall to allow the faster swimmer(s)
to pass.
When needing to pass an individual, before you
reach the wall, gently tap on that individual's foot
to single you are passing. If your foot is tapped
on, you should wait at the wall, allowing the
swimmer behind you to pass.

SPRING

APRIL 1 JUNE 9

At the Y, our swim lessons build skills, confidence and character. We

teach people of all ages and abilities how to be safe in the water
while staying active and having fun. Whether youre splashing around
with us for the first time or improving your stroke technique, youll
feel secure knowing that the Y is here to support you.

Circle swimming is the most efficient and safest way to swim in a lane with other individuals. It also allows
proper and quick regulation of lane speeds.
Note: Lifeguards monitor the lanes and may alter the configuration at any time. If they ask you to move a
lane, it is to better accommodate all swimmers, including yourself.
Choose a lane appropriate for your swimming
pace. Lane speeds may be subject to the
individuals in the pool at any given time.
Swimmers should swim single file and counter
clockwise (down the right side of the lane).
If there are swimmers approaching the wall as
you are preparing to enter, wait until they have
turned and started the next lap before entering
the water, so as not to interrupt their progress.
When swimming, stop only at the wall. Once
stopped, stay in the corner of the lane, preferably
in the right hand corner.

PALO ALTO FAMILY YMCA

Traditional lap swimming with the structure of speed designed

lanes. When more than two people occupy a lane, circle swim will
be enforced. The circle swim format creates a smoother swimming
experience for pool patrons of all speeds. Lifeguards are readily
available for assistance. Water running and walking are allowed in
lanes marked slow. Youth ages 8-12 must pass the swim test and
lap swim assessment to participate. Only youth 13 and over may
swim laps during adult lap swim.

A high-intensity fitness class offering a mixture of land and water

exercises designed to challenge your body to the max. Workouts often
