DO

• inform receptionist/swim school coordinator at the point of booking of any medical conditions prior to the lessons so that we can be prepared.
• arrive with your child/children 10 minutes early on the first week and 5 minutes early thereafter.
• pay particular attention to ensuring swimmers have used the toilet before attending and therefor trying to avoid children needing to use the toilet on site.
• ensuring that hats are put on securely prior to the lesson, and goggles are adjusted. If children need help with adjusting their hats or goggles, we will encourage them to seek help in the first instance from their parent. We will have a designated member of staff to assist if needed.
• use the hand gel / hand washing facilities on entry/exit of poolside, observation/spectator areas
• use face coverings if you feel you prefer. These are not compulsory and viewing from outside is advisable.
• liaise with our ‘Covid’ officer on poolside or our ‘floating’ member of staff rather than our swimming teachers if you need to discuss anything.
• arrive ‘activity ready’ such as already dressed in their swimwear. We advise a Onesie or PJ’s and possibly Tracksuits for the older swimmers. (Changing rooms are out of use for swimmers prior to swimming)
• place your overclothes and towel in the buckets provided, or if you prefer not to, please hold on to them yourselves. However, please make sure you keep your belongings apart from others.
• shower when you get home
• ensure only ONE parent/guardian accompanies each child on poolside.

DON’T

• attend if you are unwell.
• arrive too early. Apart from the first lesson of term where swimmers are required to turn up 10 minutes, we ask that swimmers only arrive 5 minutes prior to their lesson time throughout the term to ensure minimal crowds.
• engage unnecessarily with the teachers or other parents on poolside.
• shake any towels or clothing items out
• hang around after your child’s lesson(s)
