Recreation

• 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.
