Medium lane swimming

Intended for recreational swimmers who are comfortable swimming full lengths of the pool at a reasonable pace. 

This will be a double lane, usually near the wall with a maximum capacity of 10 swimmers and walk-in steps available.

These lanes will always be against the side of the pool. If you need to stop then please do so at the lane end and move into the corner, facing towards the poolside.    If you require a longer break, please climb out and go to your allocated chair.  During times when there are Family Swimming sessions the Medium Lane may be a single lane in the middle of the pool with a maximum capacity of 6 swimmers and you will need to climb out if you need to take a break.

If you are swimming butterfly or backstroke please be mindful of other pool users and keep your arms within your lane. 

Overtaking of other swimmers should be avoided. If you do need to overtake please do so at the end of a lane. If there is spare capacity in a higher speed lane please move across.  Lifeguards will monitor the speed of the lanes and if the relative speed of some swimmers is too slow then they will be encouraged to move into a slower lane or allow other swimmers to overtake at the end of the lane.

Each session lasts for a 45 minutes.
