Coming changed prior to class and leaving straight after then getting changed at home will help keep congestion to a minimum, we would like to suggest bringing a dressing gown, slippers and warm hat for your child to put on over their togs to make sure they are warm when leaving. We will be closing off every 2nd changeroom to allow for distancing.
8. All swimmers in Seahorse / Penguins and above will require a swim cap (including all adults and public swimmers), this is to help limit the need to touch your face
This is already a requirement for clients in Otters and above, we have just extended this policy now to cover all classes where a parent/carer is no longer in the water.

Masks are welcome poolside. Our poolside staff may choose to wear masks for safety and cleaning staff will be wearing these whilst cleaning changing rooms and bathrooms, you are more than welcome if you wish to wear your own whilst poolside.
As well as our standard cleaning routine. All staff will be undertaking extra cleaning of all high touch surfaces multiple times throughout each shift, class buttons will be cleaned and sanitised before and after each shift, our EFTPOS terminals will be wiped down between each client and where possible we are asking clients to pay their term fees via internet banking - please email waterhole.info@yahoo.co.nz with clients name and day booked to receive further details on how to make payment.
Our main focus area will be what happens poolside as to this date there is no evidence that the virus is spread through the water due to the pools being treated with chlorine, we will also be adding extra pool tests throughout the day to maintain standard safe chlorine levels.

The pool complex was designed and built especially for TEACHING AND COACHING, and we believe we run one of the best teaching and coaching organisations in the world.
We have 2 teaching pools and both pools are well heated
Water Quality
As well as daily testing a minimum of 3x per day. Our pools are independently tested every month and the results are always displayed in the reception area.
As we are a privately owned complex and mainly used as a teaching facility we don't have a large number of public swimmers attending the facility. Which means we can keep our water quality controlled and in the best possible condition for you our clients.
