Aquatics - Lap Swimming

Lap lane availability In general, most lanes are available for laps most of the time. However, on occasion some lanes are booked out to training and short courses. To assist you to pick a time that suits you, we have provided a table with current bookings.  This table represents permanent bookings only.  Our busiest times are between 4pm and 7pm Monday to Friday. Lap Lane Etiquette To ensure your lap swimming session is a rewarding one, the following lap lane etiquette guidelines have been developed and will be enforced at the Beaurepaire Pool:

• Select a lane based on your ability and stroke/s you intend to swim during your visit.
• While swimming, keep to the left of the lane.
• In order to pass a swimmer in front, swim past on the right and move as promptly as possible back into the left lane to continue lapping.
• If you have to move across any lanes, check both directions before moving.
• When waiting at the end of the pool, move across towards the corners of the lane to allow other swimmers to continue swimming laps and perform tumble turns.
• Please bring your patience along with your goggles.

The following times are provided as a guide for lane designations:

• Slow Lane: Laps slower than 60 seconds
• Medium Lane: Laps slower than 45 seconds
• Fast Lane: Laps faster than 40 seconds

The above times are a guide only and Pool Attendants will monitor the lanes according to the abilities of all the swimmers on the day. Please do not be offended if a Pool Attendant asks you to move to another lane.
