Take a look at the information for our Lessons returning at our various locations. For each venue, we have a video explaining the procedures that have been put in place along with the documentation that supports this. If you have any questions or queries please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kings School
Introduction
We recognise the return to swimming may feel strange and may make people nervous or worried. We are doing our utmost to ensure we are taking all the necessary precautions whilst trying to provide a sense of normalcy.
Over the coming weeks if you do have any concerns you can contact any of the following people, depending on the nature of your concern:
Before returning to Lessons
Before leaving Home and on your Return
At the Facility
In the Pool
Teaching
Our teaching team will remain on poolside, social distanced from the swimmers. However, for our least experienced swimmers returning to Kings Pool, our Stage 3’s, we will also have an additional teacher or helper in the water, but safely distanced. This is to provide extra confidence and support to swimmers as they move across the pool. The in-pool helper will have flotation aids ready to support swimmers if required or can fully intervene if they feel it necessary to do so from a safety perspective. Those teachers or helpers will be wearing visors, again to mitigate transmission risks.

Actions to be taken if any swimmer develops symptoms of COVID-19
If there are any concerns about a swimmer showing signs of illness during a training session, especially linked to coronavirus, they will be removed from the session and escorted to the first aid room/designated location to be looked after until they can be collected and taken home
Individuals showing signs should book a test for COVID-19 as soon as possible and self isolate until the results are known.
Members who have been in close conduct with a confirmed or symptomatic case will be informed and advised of the appropriate course of action, namely self isolation of those that have been in close contact with the individual for 14 days. If social distancing measures have been strictly followed there should be no need to remove any other swimmers other than the confirmed case and thorough cleaning of the venue would follow.
Any swimmer that has had COVID-19 should only resume training following advice given by their own medical practitioner.

Our teaching team will primarily remain on poolside, socially distanced from the swimmers. However, Stage 2 and 3 will have 4 swimmers in each class and will be run in the learner pool with a social distanced helper. The additional in-pool support is to provide extra confidence and support to swimmers as they move across the pool. The in-pool helper will have flotation aids ready to support swimmers if required or can fully intervene if they feel it necessary to do so from a safety perspective. Those teachers or helpers will be wearing visors, again to mitigate transmission risks.
