Covid-19 special measures
A full risk assessment has been conducted and our operating procedures updated in line with advice from the government, Heath England, Swim England, PWTAG and the ATACP.
We have in place:
-
A one way system from the car park to maintain social distancing;
-
A one way system through the building;
-
Reduced numbers in the building and pool at one time;
-
No crossover of any groups in the changing areas;
-
Five alcohol sanitisers dispensers;
-
Four hand wash stations;
-
Social distancing with signs both inside and outside the building;
-
A need to shower with soap/shower gel before entering the pool so that all the chlorine is ready to kill any COVID-19 rather than be wasted cleaning dirt or bacteria from bathers;
-
Fresh air being circulated by our environmental control system with none recirculated;
-
Chlorine level in line with best practice advice from PWTAG to be most effective at making the COVID-19 virus ineffective;
-
75% alcohol surface sanitiser in use in addition to extra cleaning before and after sessions;
-
All non essential equipment removed to reduce touch points.
