Please Observe Lap Swimming Etiquette!
Lap Swimming Picture
When sharing a lane with one other swimmer, you may each take one side of the lane.  When three or more swimmers share a lane, they must circle swim.  To circle swim, swim on the right side of the lane leaving the center of the lane open for passing. If you need to pass a fellow swimmer indicate this by tapping the person on their foot and then quickly passing in the middle on the lane, being cautious of oncoming swimmers.  Click Here for a complete list of swim etiquette!

Get Your Daily Dose Of Green Space!
Kids in Nature
First, the bad news: Americans are suffering from an acute case of "outdoor deprivation disorder," and the effects on physical and mental health are rising fast. Now, the good news: There's a simple remedy - get outside and start moving around in green spaces near and far, most of which are free. A consortium of physicians, health insurers, naturalists and government agencies have banded together to help more people of all ages and economic strata engage in health-enhancing physical activity in parks and other natural environments.  Click Here for more information!
To get outside this weekend, check out the Maple Sugar Festival at Rockwood Reservations.
