| This Ordinance may be cited as the Summer Swimming (Traffic) Ordinance or the Summer Swimming (Dream Only) Ordinance. | |
| 2. 释义 | |
| 在本条例中，除文意另有所指外— | |
| 「不当停顿」 (inappropriate halting) 指除急性身体不适外，因任何目的而在指定泳道中途完全停顿，包括但不限于调整泳镜、进行存在主义思考，或与相邻泳道的熟人打招呼； | |
| 「泳道」 (lane) 指泳池内由水底黑线或水面浮标所界定，供单向或双向通行的指定路径； | |
| 「拥挤时段」 (peak hours) 指视觉上超过百分之五十的水面被人体或其附属物（如浮板）覆盖的时段；或当游泳者试图完成一个标准转身时，有超过百分之五十的机率会与另一名游泳者或池壁发生非自愿的肢体接触的时段。如无相反证据，夏日的周末、公众假期及工作日下午四时后须视为拥挤时段； | |
| 「指定泳道」 (designated lane) 指经清晰标示以供特定速度及用途的泳道； | |
| 「夏日」 (summer) 指公历四月至十月期间； | |
| 「前进方式」 (propulsion method) 指游泳者用以产生前进动力的任何肢体动作； | |
| 「超宽前进方式」 (Wide-Load propulsion method) 指仰泳、蝶泳，或任何其横向动作幅度显著超出或容易显著超出游泳者肩宽的前进方式。 | 2. Interpretation |
| In this Ordinance, unless the context otherwise requires— | |
| “designated lane” (指定泳道) means a lane clearly marked for a specific speed and purpose; | |
| “inappropriate halting” (不当停顿) means, except in cases of acute physical discomfort, the complete cessation of movement in the middle of a designated lane for any purpose, including but not limited to adjusting goggles, engaging in existential contemplation, or greeting acquaintances in an adjacent lane; | |
| “lane” (泳道) means a designated path within a swimming pool, demarcated by a bottom black line or surface buoys, for unidirectional or bidirectional traffic; | |
| “peak hours” (拥挤时段) means a period during which more than 50% of the water surface is visually occupied by persons or their appurtenances (such as kickboards); or a period during which a swimmer attempting a standard turn has a greater than 50% probability of making unintentional physical contact with another swimmer or the pool wall. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, weekends, public holidays, and after 4 p.m. on weekdays during summer is deemed to be peak hours; | |
| “propulsion method” (前进方式) means any limb movement used by a swimmer to generate forward momentum; | |
| “summer” (夏日) means the period from April to October in the Gregorian calendar; | |
| “wide-load propulsion method” (超宽前进方式) means backstroke, butterfly stroke, or any propulsion method whose lateral movements significantly or are likely to significantly exceed the swimmer’s shoulder width. | |
| 3. 泳道选择及一般行为 | |
| (1) 任何人须选择一条与其预计速度最相符的指定泳道，而非其渴望达到的速度。 | |
| (2) 在拥挤时段，任何人应当避免进入在一般人看来已无充足空间的泳道，除非所有泳道在一般人看来均已无充足空间。 | |

| (3) In a bidirectional lane, a swimmer must keep to the right of the bottom black line. | |
| (4) A person must not execute a manoeuvre that crosses one or more lanes, except for the purpose of entering, exiting, or changing lanes, provided that such manoeuvre does not endanger or inconvenience other swimmers. | |
| 4. 水上优先通行权 | |
