FBMS members agree to conform to all FCCA rules and regulations including its Thunder and Lightening Policy. This policy states “Red Cross policy dictates that the ENTIRE facility be cleared when the pool is closed for inclement weather. It is dangerous for anyone to be on deck during this time; the water acts like a magnet for the thunder and lightening.” Coaches will have the final say on whether or not practice continues in inclement weather. Coachless practices are NOT covered by FBMS insurance.

FCCA policy allows up to 8 swimmers per lane. Do not join any lane such that this number is exceeded.

FCCA residents have guaranteed lane space. During long course season, Lane 1 is reserved for residents. During short course, Lanes 1 and 2 are reserved for residents. FBMS members may NOT swim in these lanes during practices regardless if the lane is occupied or not. FBMS has contractually designated lane space. Always check with your coach before swimming in an empty lane.
