Competencies

We have a new one way entry and collection procedure in place for this term of swimming lessons…

Enter via the right side “POOL ENTRY” door and right side viewing area door.

One parent/guardian per child.

Arrive beach ready with swimwear on.

Entry to the building will only be allowed 5 minutes prior to lesson start time.

Tog off quickly at the viewing area – “drop off area” – and parents exit via the other viewing area door with child’s swim gear and exit building via the main door.

Children assemble with their instructor around the pool deck at their designated areas.

Parents reenter through the main door – on left – and wait in the changing room up to five minutes before the end time.

Showers are available and change in cubicles on the way out.

Exit via the main door.

We really appreciate your patience and cooperation.
