Poolside Survival Kit
- Wear waterproof sunscreen for outdoor swimming.
- Use goggles to protect your eyes
- Wear a swimming cap to protect your hair from chlorine (and to keep it dry so you don't have to blow-dry after lunch break swim session)
- Be aware of the other swimmers
- Do not stop in the middle of the lane
- Push off the wall in a straight line
- Be courteous to others and allow them to complete their swim without interference.
- Don't be afraid to move to a different lane if the pace is unsuitable for you - it's as frustrating for you as it is for your lane mates if you're constantly passing or being passed
- Communication is the key to a happy flow of traffic. If you're unsure about something, ask other swimmers.
