Highlights include:
- Registration for lane/leisure swim and aquafit is limited to a maximum of two sessions per week per patron.
- Patrons will be assigned a lane when they check in at reception.
- Lanes are not designated by speed; swimmers can expect different styles and speeds in their lane.
- Maximum five people per lane.
An email with facility usage guidelines will be sent to all session participants prior to session start date.
