Important Message to our customers regarding Covid-19

Dear Northern Stars families,
Management would like to reassure all clients that Northern Stars Swim School is vigilantly monitoring COVID-19, more commonly referred to as Coronavirus.
We wish to advise that at Northern Stars, all normal classes and routines will proceed as scheduled, unless health authorities advise otherwise.
 

1. Our leadership team will continue to be guided by NSW Health and The Australian Government Department of Health in monitoring Coronavirus. In our efforts to keep our students and employees healthy and safe we ask your complete cooperation in upholding our illness policy. If you or your child exhibits any of the following symptoms please refrain from visiting swim school until symptoms subside for 24 hours: fever, achiness, excessively runny nose, coughing, breathing difficulties, shortness of breath, vomiting, diarrhea, red and itchy eyes, unidentified rash.  Statistics show that children are among the lowest risk for suffering serious complications from the virus.
2. We have increased our already rigorous cleaning procedures; and staff are now extra vigilant in ensuring proper hygiene practices are being followed.  At Northern Stars, your child swims in first class, healthy water.  In addition to treating our pool with chlorine, we have an AOP system which consists of Ozone and Ultra-violet (UV) sanitation treatment system to provide the utmost protection against the spread of any disease.  In addition to this, numerous leading health authorities around the world are stating that there is no evidence that Coronavirus can be spread to humans through the use of pools. Proper operation, maintenance and disinfection (e.g. with chlorine – as per Australian requirements) of pools removes or inactivates the virus that causes COVID-19.
3. We encourage all families to feel confident to send your child to their lesson at Swim School and not let unnecessary panic lead to a disruption in your child learning to swim.  Swimming skills are a big factor in the prevention of childhood drowning and last year 25 children under 9 years old drowned in Australia.  Learning to swim and keeping their swimming skills strong is a gift for life.

Northern Stars will keep our Community advised of further developments Of course if a suspension of business activity is required your position will be held and fees will remain in credit until lessons resume but we have no reason to believe this will happen. We will keep you updated via email and social media.
Best wishes
Northern Stars Management
