UPDATE of our COVID-Safe Practices
- Afternoon Program: DROP AND GO VALET SERVICE WILL CONTINUE Due to the ongoing problems with COVID-19, we have sought advice and made the decision to continue our drop & go valet service in our afternoon program as we head into Term 3. Having less adults in our centre minimises the risk for everyone. We do have limited seating on pool deck available for any families not comfortable with the drop and go – please speak to our staff when you arrive. On your lesson day, please bring your child to the door ready to swim, with cap, goggles and towel. Children are then to line up on the ramp before their lesson and parents asked to leave the centre for 30 mins of me time. Our staff will escort your child to their teacher once the previous class has exited. At the end of their lesson, your child will be escorted back to the foyer where you can pick them up – children will not be permitted to leave the centre on their own.
- Morning program (including Saturday): please arrive within 5 mins of your child’s lesson time. Line up on the ramp (keeping 1.5m apart) and wait for the previous class to exit the pool deck. At the end of your child’s lesson, please wrap and leave the pool deck as quickly as possible. Our amenities & extra change tables downstairs are available for you to change your child so please avoid dressing them on pool deck so we can get the next class started.
- Social Distancing – all adults must stay 1.5m apart; in our foyer, on the ramp, in the change-rooms, on pool deck and in the pool. Parents in baby classes please be mindful of remaining 1.5 m apart.
- Change Rooms/Toilets are open if you do need to use them, however we do ask that you do not congregate in these areas.
- Showers are open, but we are asking unless you really need them, could you please shower your children at home during the pandemic.
- Sanitise hands upon arrival
- Do not attend swimming if you or your child are unwell
- Teacher Changes for your child’s safety, our staff will not be permitted to work if they are unwell. Thank you for being tolerant to any teacher changes – our staff are all amazing!
- Please ensure the person bringing your child to swimming is on our system, if a grandparent or other person brings them please let us know.
