Mark your attendance on the poolside register before your swim. Check the direction your lane is swimming and follow it.
Find your pace
Start at the back unless you know you swim faster than your lane mates. If you are catching the swimmer ahead, politely ask to move ahead at the end of the length.
Leave a five-second gap when setting off. A light tap on the toes signals that someone has caught up. Pause at the end of the length so they can pass.
Look out for one another
Be respectful of other swimmers. If you accidentally make contact, check they are OK at the end of the length.
Tell the coach if you need to leave before the session ends. These small habits help everyone enjoy training together.
