Hygiene Policy

Important personal hygiene practices can significantly reduce swimming pool water pollution. All bathers are requested to comply with the following code of practice to assist in achieving this.

  • Please use the pre – swim showers before bathing.
  • Please use the toilet before entering the pool, and encourage children to do so.
  • Please wear suitable clean swimwear.
  • Children still requiring nappies are encouraged to wear a recognised swim nappy, available from Reception. Conventional nappies are not permitted in the pool.
  • Outdoor shoes are not permitted on poolside. (Please pay particular attention to this if you are registering your child onto our swimming lesson programme)
  • Bathers who have had sickness and/or diarrhoea should avoid swimming for at least two days.
  • Any incident involving contamination of the pool must be reported to staff immediately.
