Lanes are only for lap swimming unless reserved for other
programs.
UFC strives to maintain 2-4 lanes for lap swimming during all hours of pool
operation. Lanes will be restricted to only two when there are more than 8
students in a water fitness class or more than 10 open swim participants.
Only ONE will be available on Saturday mornings from 9:00am-11:30am and
Sundays from 1:00pm-4:30pm. Please refer to the monthly Aquatic Exercise Schedule and Facility Schedule which directly influence the number of lanes available at specific times. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to speak to a lifeguard.
