Covid-19 Back to Swimming Protocols
Here is some useful information about Covid-19 precautions and protocols at The Water School.
Things WE are doing to prevent infection;
Keeping numbers small to improve social distancing.
We have installed an outdoor picnic/play area for parents and younger children to use.
Increasing the rate of cleaning, filtering and sterilization of the pool water.
Wearing face shields when we need to get close to a swimmer.
Thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting all equipment and the changing rooms and toilets after every class.
Ensuring all staff are temperature checked regularly and that all staff know what to do if anyone (staff or customer) becomes ill.
Things YOU can do to help
Don’t come to the pool if you or anyone in your family or workplace is showing symptoms or has tested positive.
Be dressed ready to swim when you get here so you don’t need to use the changing room for dressing.
Arrive as close to start time as you can for the same reason.
Sanitize your hands on arrival, before entering the pool and when you leave.
Be aware of social distancing in the pool, on deck and in the changing areas and lobby. Try to keep your distance at all times.
Adults must wear a face covering in the lobby and in the changing room. You do not need to wear a face covering in the pool itself.
If you are bringing children to classes make sure they sanitize their hands. Please do not wait in the lobby to watch your child swim, wait in your car or in our picnic/play area. However do feel free to pop in and check on your child’s swim class from time to time.
After the class please get dry and ready to go as quickly as possible. Big fluffy towels and dressing gowns are a great idea, especially for children. Flip-flops, loose clothes, anything that will reduce the amount of time spent in the changing room. Plan to have your children dressed within 5 minutes. It may help to make a game or race out of it!
And finally, don’t forget to sanitize your hands one last time on your way out!

We WILL beat this by working together!
