Tiling Fitness Stairs

So what's the latest buzz? What's with the stairs to the cardio level? What's a "flyway" and why do we need access to that? Here's the scoop. The stairs that go up from the fitness floor to the cardio mezzanine are being retiled so they will be closed for several days. To get to the cardio floor where the treadmills, elipticals, bicycles etc...are located you have to scan in at the front desk (like usual) go to the locker room (if you use it) and then come back upstairs to the front desk. Then you head towards the deli, past the deli, you are now entering the cardiac rehab zone. Cross over through cardiac rehab and you are now in the cardio mezzanine. As you go through that area please be respectful of those who may be using the equipment at the time.

Water Jogging Protocol

So, it was brought to my attention this morning that there is some confusion on the protocol for water joggers versus lap swimmers. I decided this was kind of a gray area that was unclear to me too.
What I found out was this: If there are two or more lap swimmers in a lane the water jogger needs to move to an outside lane closest to the wall. If there is an exercise class going on in part of the pool and only 1 lane available for lap swimming a water jogger may use that lane. However, if a lap swimmer wants to get in that one lap lane the water jogger should move to the other end (the deep end) and do their water jogging down there. That will allow the lap swimmer to do their thing, as well as the water joggers and those participating in the class.
