• Stay left – try to swim as close to the lane rope as possible to allow for anyone faster to overtake you.

• Overtaking – Overtaking to be done from right of the swimmer in front. When overtaking ensure you continue to swim within the left side of the lane (never swim so wide that you swim into a swimmer from the oncoming lane!). Once you are well in front of the slower swimmer move back to the left side of the lane in front of them. If you are the swimmer being overtaken remain to the left of the lane as much as possible. Hold your line (and speed!)

• Turning etiquette –as you approach the end of the lane and the wall, move right so you turn as close to the right side of the lane as possible.
