We offer lane swimming across all of our pools; Newton Abbot Leisure Centre, Dawlish Leisure centre and our Seasonal Pool; Teignmouth Lido. Lane swimming is for anyone wanting to improve fitness, master technique or enjoy the mindfulness swimming can bring. Whether you're a regular or just getting started, swimming is an excellent activity with a community of like-minded people.
Each lane has a board telling you which side to swim up and which side to swim down. Swimmers swim up one side of the lane and down the other – swimming in very long ovals rather than up and down the same line. This is so we can keep all swimmers swimming safely and you get the most out of your workout.
Our centres provide lanes for swimmers with different abilities and speeds. As a guide: Fast lane is for continuous length swimming at 30 seconds per length (25m) or faster, predominantly front crawl. Medium lane is for steady length swimming slower than 30 seconds per length (25m). The slow lane is for continuous length swimming.
We all have different speeds and abilities. You are encouraged to support and be aware of each other when swimming and let others pass or overtake if needed.
To support all our swimmers and lifeguard team, we have created a lane swim etiquette to encourage all swimmers to swim by.
