Lap Swim Etiquette
Though you may occasionally find an empty lane, oftentimes you will show up at the pool for your swim and see that each lane has one or more swimmers already utilizing lap lanes.
This doesn’t mean you’re out of luck. A single lane can accommodate several swimmers (just go watch a swim team practice) provided they all swim at a comparable pace. Take a minute to observe each of the lanes and get a sense of which one you match up with best. As a courtesy, please make room for other lap swimmers in your lane. If an issue arises, please do not hesitate to seek assistance from the manager on duty.
If you’re ready to pick a lane and start swimming, make sure everyone in that lane is aware that you’re going to join them. Sit by the edge of the pool and wait for them to finish a set, wave a kickboard underwater to get their attention, or slide in and stand in the corner of the lane until they acknowledge you’re joining them.
At that point, it’s worth it to have a quick discussion about how you’re going to swim in concert—either by splitting the lane (if there are just two of you) or by swimming in circles (if there are two or more).
See below for instructions about sharing your lap lane.
Splitting the Lane
In this scenario, one of you will swim on one side of the lane and the other swimmer will stay on the other side of the lane. If you are splitting the lane, stay in your half of the lap lane no matter what.
Circle Swim
Much like traffic on a road, always swim on the right side of the lane. This means swimming on one side of the lane going down and the other side of the lane coming back. Swimmers move in a counterclockwise circle, hence the name.
Recreational Swim
Both residents and non-residents of Aliso Viejo are invited to enjoy our heated lap pool, recreational pool, and splash pad – all year long! The recreational pool is 4 ft. at its deepest point, making it the perfect play pool for your family to enjoy the water, practice swimming strokes, and relax. The kid’s splash pad and baby pool will provide your kids with endless safer fun in the sun while you relax at our shaded lounge chairs and picnic tables.
Rest assured, Premier Aquatics employs the best lifeguards around to watch over the pool and keep all individuals enjoying their time at the aquatic center safe and comfortable. Lifeguards are qualified and trained through the American Red Cross to overcome any possible circumstance. Whether it be a water emergency or simple first aid issue, our lifeguards are here to help!
AVAC generally allows floatation toys like pool noodles, floaties, kickboards, and innertubes. However, the lifeguards reserve the right to ask any patron to remove any inflatable toy of any size from the water if they feel that the object is causing a disturbance in the lifeguard’s visibility of the pool.
Swim Lessons at AVAC
Premier Aquatics offers both group and private swim lessons for all ages at competitive pricing, compared to surrounding facilities. The swim lessons offered at the aquatic center are designed to teach swimming in the safest and most enjoyable way possible. Participants will be paired with an instructor who is eager to teach and loves what they do! Swim lesson participants will be taught how to swim based on different levels. Within each level taught, swimmers will learn multiple tasks that they will be able to advance through. Throughout the entire learning process, swimmers will be having a great time!
Premier Aquatics also runs a year-round, competitive swim team at the Aliso Viejo Aquatic Center. Swim team members practice four times a week and engage in both drills and various forms of lap swimming that improves their technique and keeps them conditioned in all swim strokes. During this time, there is no lap swim available for the public.
Birthday Parties & Events at AVAC
The Aliso Viejo Aquatics Center serves as a great place to host a birthday party. Families are able to celebrate by the pool in their very own reserved party area. For an additional rate, we do offer bouncers and slides for an even more fun party experience!
While we do not provide any food or party items, party hosts are welcome to bring in their own table decor, utensils, plates, food and birthday cake.
