Lap Swim Program Update
As of June 16, 2021
With the release of the State of California Public Health Order effective June 15, the City of San Ramon Lap Swim program will return to a drop in program and reservations are no longer required beginning Monday June 21.
Swimmers will be able to attend lap swim at any time during current lap swim hours at the San Ramon Olympic Pool & Dougherty Valley Aquatic Center.
Lap Swim Program Information starting June 21:
- Lap lanes are for exercise purposes only. Please do not use the designated lanes for recreational purposes. It is not necessary for chaperones to be in the pool during lap swim. However, chaperones must supervise their children ages 12 and under while they swim laps.
- There is no longer a restriction on the number of swimmers per lane.
- When necessary and based on participant’s comfortability, please share a lane with other lap swimmers in order to accommodate more participants.
- Splitting the Lane – When two participants share the lane with each participant only using one side of the lane.
- Circle Swimming – Can be performed by 2 or more participants swimming laps in a circular keeping to the right.
- If other participants are waiting, please limit your time to 30 minutes or invite them to share a lane with you.
- There is no longer designated session start time and duration. Participants can attend the program at any time during scheduled lap swim hours.
- Participants will pay at the front desk by swim pass, credit card, or cash.
- Showers and locker rooms are now open.
- Kickboards will be available for use during lap swim. Goggles, pull buoys, fins, and other equipment will not be provided by the City.
- Face coverings are not required for fully vaccinated individuals. Unvaccinated individuals are required to wear face covering while indoors at the aquatics facility, including in the lobby and locker rooms.
Due to the popularity of lap swim by reservation, staff is currently assessing options to offer lap swim by reservations again in the future.
