Additional information in relation to COVID-19

Pool Entry

Due to the current situation regarding COVID-19 we would request that only one Parent or Guardian attends with their child who is swimming, unless you have siblings where you need two adults to attend. We will be unable to allow anyone else inside the building.

Once you are in the courtyard, continue to the pool door, where you will drop off the children for lessons. No Parents or Guardians will be allowed on the poolside. ideally the children will arrive pool ready with a towel to take onto poolside with them. they can use the changing rooms if required.

Should you wish to watch the lessons there will be limited availability to do so outside, from the far windows which will be open during the lessons.

We would ask that you ARRIVE ONLY JUST BEFORE YOUR LESSON IS DUE TO START.

Lessons

We already run small groups and are therefore already within the guidelines so we do not need to reduce numbers per class and our lessons will stay at 30 minutes.

We will have 5 minute gaps between each lesson (so your times may change slightly to accommodate this) to clean equipment, and minimise the footfall at any one time. Teachers will still teach in the pool for the younger stages but with social distancing in place, they have the option to teach from the poolside for stages 4+.

We will have additional staff on the poolside as well as the Lifeguard to assist with cleaning and moving children around safely.

The equipment used for lessons will be kept to a minimum to reduce risk and only solid floats and woggles will be used for the lessons. These will be cleaned following the guidelines with chlorinated water after each lesson.

End of the lessons 

Children will be required to towel dry on the poolside so PLEASE SEND THEM INTO THE POOL WITH THEIR TOWEL.

Parents will collect their child from the pool door and change in the changing rooms.

If you have any concerns or questions feel free to get in touch.
