Lane
Availability

Whether you want to do gentle water exercises or practice competitive strokes, our pools are here to help you reach your health and wellbeing goals.

We keep a minimum of four lanes available for casual lap and leisure swimming at all times*.

*Exceptions apply, including (but not limited to) school swimming carnivals, events, and aquatic hirers.

We’ve recently launched a new lane availability view as part of our system upgrade to Xplor Recreation.

While it provides up-to-date lane information, it currently displays availability one lane at a time rather than a full pool view.

We are actively working on updating the lane availability feature with our technology partners to develop an enhanced view.

Our pools always keep a minimum of four lanes available for casual lap and leisure swimming at all times*

At each of our pools, signage is positioned at the end of each lap lane indicating the appropriate use for swimmers in that lane.

Recreation lanes
For walking, aqua jogging and gentle exercise, not for lap swimming.
Slow lanes
For continuous lap swimming (any stroke permitted but must be continuous).

Medium lanes
For competitive strokes only (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke).
Fast lanes
For competitive strokes only (less than 50 seconds a lap).

For a safe and enjoyable swimming environment, please also remember:

Keep to the left of the lane.
In order to pass a swimmer in front, swim past on the right.
If you have to move across any lanes please check both directions before moving. Please go under the lane ropes rather than over them.
Move to the corners of the lanes to allow other swimmers to continue swimming laps if you are waiting or resting at the end of the pool.
