The J's pools are a great place for fun and exercise. Whether you're a seasoned swimmer or a new guppie, it's important to know the etiquette for using the pools and water features at The J. Following these simple steps will help keep you or your family safe while swimming.
Aquatics Etiquette
Lap Swimming
While lap swimming is available, there are times when lap lanes are limited due to other programs. Please familiarize yourself with the pool schedule. Lap lanes are first-come-first-serve. However, during peak usage, it will become necessary for you to share your lane with another swimmer(s).
Circle Swim Courtesy
When approaching to share a lane, please ask the person who is already occupying the lane. When sharing a lane, each person may choose a side of the lane or circle swim. If you choose to circle swim, stay on the right side of the lane, moving in a counter-clockwise direction. Please remember to stay to your side of the lane, including your legs and arms. Always be mindful of your surroundings, communicate with fellow swimmers, and be prepared to merge and overtake safely when necessary.
General Rules
Please read our Aquatics Policies for what to expect when swimming at The J.
