Lap Swimming
For adults and youth 7+ capable of swimming laps unassisted in the competition pool (minimum depth 7 feet). Children 7-12 years of age must share a lane with an accompanying adult. Kickboards, pull buoys, aqua-belts, and aqua-bells are allowed, but swimmers cannot be dependent on equipment for floatation. Bring your own equipment.
Swimmers are expected to split lanes or circle swim as needed during peak demand.
Advanced registration is required prior to participation.
Hours and days are subject to change due to staffing challenges, mechanical issues/pool closures, and/or collegiate activities.
NOTE: You can choose between Daily Lap Swim reservations ($5 per day; released for registration one month at a time), or you can opt for the value and convenience of a Lap Swim Semester Pass.
