Lap swim will be available with two swimmers allowed per lane. Two swimmers may split a lane, each stopping at opposite sides of the pool to maintain physical distancing.
Please check our pool schedules below for updated lane availability. If a lane is full, you must wait for a lane to become available. We ask that all workouts are limited to one hour. Aqua walking in the shallow end is allowed, during times that the shallow end is not reserved. Up to three individuals may aqua walk at a time if the space is not being used for lessons or other programming. Masks must be worn and you must maintain a distance of 8 – 10 feet from others at all times.
The minimum age for lap swim is 8 years old. All lap swimmers must be able to swim the entire length of the lane and may be subject to a swim test at the direction of Lifeguard staff. For swimmers under the age of 14, adult supervision is required.
If you are an existing pass holder, you may use your pass to access the facility. If you are not an existing pass holder or your pass expires, you may purchase a monthly or quarterly lap swim pass online or in person, or purchase a day-use pass in person. Annual and semi-annual passes will not be sold at this time. Team memberships and water fitness passes are also valid for lap swimming.
Upon arrival, your temperature will be taken in the lobby of the Clubhouse and we ask that you self-screen for symptoms prior to arrival. We ask that do not come to the Center if you show any signs of illness or are under quarantine or isolation orders.
Locker rooms are temporarily closed. Everyone must rinse off using the deck showers prior to their swim. Family changing rooms will be available for restroom use only. Masks must be worn to and from the showers and restrooms.
A chair will be placed at the end of each lane for you to place your belongings on, as well as provide a visual reminder of your side of the lane and where to rest. Please do not move these chairs. During inclement weather, bleachers will be set up under tarps for personal items.
Please continue to come to the Center dressed appropriately for the weather with your swimming attire underneath.
Please be mindful of wearing your masks whenever you are not in the water and remain socially distanced as much as possible. Also, please do not spit into the gutters while swimming.
You must still contact us to reserve a time if you plan on swimming with a snorkel. To request accommodations for a disability-based need, please contact us at webmaster@rosebowlaquatics.org.
Lap swimmers should bring their own kickboard, buoys, and goggles. Shared pool equipment is prohibited.
Each user should bring their own water bottles; the bottle water filling station will be available, but the water fountain will be closed.
Thank you for helping us keep everyone healthy as we are back in the pool and swimming.
