UPDATES FOR THE NEW YEAR

LAP SWIMMING
Schedule Changes:
Beginning the week of January 11, the 6:00AM slot every morning will be open to 12 swimmers to circle swim. This will allow more swimmers access to the pool during this highly demanded time while keeping within Department of Health guidelines. There will be four swimmers per two lanes. Swimmers will go up one lane, follow the middle line on the bottom of the pool to maintain distancing, and back down the second lane. This is entered in Omnify as "CIRCLE SWIM." Our lifeguards will assist swimmers to be placed in lanes dependent on speed. The gender-neutral locker room and the family/accessible changing room in the pool hallway will be available to swimmers to prevent overcrowding in the locker rooms.

We are also offering a few 25-minute reservations to allow more swimmers to have access to the pool. We encourage our swimming folks who tend to not swim for a full swim time to register for these times. They will occur on Tue/Thur at 10:00 am and Mon/Wed/Fri at 3:00 pm. These are entered into Omnify as "SHORT SWIMS." The times are 10:00-10:25 and 10:30-10:55 and also 3:00-3:25 and 3:30-3:55. There are two dedicated lanes at all of these times for short swims and four for full 50 minute swims. The Welcome Center staff will give these swimmers yellow wrist bands so the guard staff will know that they are a half-time swimmer and can help remind them when their time has ended.
