Thank you to those who responded to our members Covid -19 survey – more than 90% confirmed they would be returning to the club when we return or shortly thereafter subject to any personal concerns being addressed. However we are limited in space available due to public health restrictions and are working on a phased return to the pool.
The club has agreed a strategy with Everyone Active, is training all regular volunteers on Covid-19 awareness and has in conjunction with Swim England and other regulatory bodies completed risk assessments and will be following the ‘new normal’ guidelines in preparing for and delivering pool sessions.
Note you will be informed before you need to attend the pool about access, changing, booking and payment arrangements so please do be patient.
Please watch out for announcements and email from the club as we will be asking for you to update swimmers details online in our new Swim Manager portal prior to switching billing systems and changing the way we record attendances, process payments and record emergency and medical information etc over the next few weeks.
To ask questions or share concerns about returning please email the club at: secretary@kingfishersswimmingclub.org.uk
Thank you
