Group Lap Swim - New for Fall 2020

At the request of our serious lap swimmers, we have developed a group lap swim plan. Please review these policies before you schedule a group (Max. of 6 swimmers, 2 lanes).  If you have questions, please email our aquatic director at frances@rcymca.org. Policies and procedures are listed below.

Monday - Friday | 11:00 am - 4:00 pm  and  6:00 pm - 7:30 pm 

Saturday | 11:30 am - 4:30 pm

  • Groups of 1-3 swimmers will use 1 lane. Circle swim. Please see posted literature/graphics, on our pool deck, advertising the USA Swimming recommended guidelines on how to share, 3 swimmers to a lane, using social distancing. 
  • Groups of 4 – 6 will use a maximum of 2 lanes.

We know if the pool has extra lanes you will want to “spread out” until other lappers or activities arrive. We will be happy to adjust for that, but with the intent that there will always we one empty lane ready for a walk in.

  • Further questions, and clarifications may be addressed to the lifeguard on duty or emailed to our aquatic director (frances@rcymca.org). Please know, this is a NEW activity and further policies/practices will be added as needed.
