Covid19 Protocols

Covid Safety remains very important to Perry Beeches sss Swimming Club, and everyone involved with the club. We will continue to follow both the Government guidelines (see https://www.gov.uk/guidance/covid-19-coronavirus-restrictions-what-you-can-and-cannot-do) and the Guidelines of Swim England (Swim England | Welcome to the home of Swim England (swimming.org)). Our Covid19 procedures remain the same as last year:

  • Changing rooms will not be open, so all swimmers must arrive ‘Beach ready’ for their lessons and sessions (costume on under clothes), coming straight onto poolside without getting changed
  • No spectators on poolside
  • All swimmers aged 11 and over MUST wear a face covering whilst moving around i.e. on entering and leaving the buildings (unless they have an exemption)
  • All swimmers, volunteers, Teachers and Coaches MUST socially distance at all times. Follow the markings on the floors, and leave your bags by a 2meter marker
  • If anyone feels at all unwell please DO NOT attend your lesson or session – thank you

Thank you – any queries please let us know
