• Please refrain from using the pool if you have an open wound or contagious skin condition.
• Children who are not yet toilet-trained are required to wear swim diapers in the pool.
• For your safety and well-being, sandals or aqua socks are recommended in this area. Always use care when on a wet surface as it may be slippery.

• Children under age 13 are not permitted in the sauna or whirlpool.
• We recommend cooling down before using the sauna or whirlpool.
• Entering the sauna or whirlpool immediately after exercise may deplete your energy rapidly.
• Please limit your time in the sauna or whirlpool to less than ten minutes.
• People with high blood pressure should consult a physician before using the sauna or whirlpool.

• When approaching to share a lane, please courteously notify those already occupying the lane.
• When sharing a lane (two people), each person may choose a side of the lane. Please stay on your side of the lane at all times to avoid a collision.
• When three or more people share a lane, it is required to circle swim.
• When joining a lane for circle swimming, assess the speed of the other swimmers and select the lane that is most appropriate for your pace. Then courteously notify the swimmers in that lane that you are joining them.
• Keep to the right at all times.
• If there is a workout set in progress, a swimmer may enter that lane only as part of the set.
• Swimming within a lane is by agreement of the majority. Swimmers should arrange themselves in speed order, fastest to slowest.
• Always be aware of what is going on in your lane. If a swimmer behind you looks as though they may pass you, stop and wait in the corner for them to pass.
• Push off underwater to avoid making waves for other swimmers.
