Phase 1 return to swimming – Lane swimmers only

October 17, 2020 @ 5:00 pm - 5:50 pm

Hi All,
Firstly, we hope you are all safe & well.  Sorry for the late notice, we have been working to align all the moving parts.
Sorry also for the length of this message but please read to the end as it contains important information about Starfish’s return to swimming.
The rules and guidelines below reflect Braywick & Starfish’s code of conduct aligned with Swim England and are subject to further Government announcements. We expect to refine these as we capture learning and adapt to this as a normalised way of operating.
If you notice members who are not included on this email please forward it to them.
Please explain and reinforce these rules to your members as best you can, including to avoid contact with others in the water if possible.   Obviously please follow government advice & do not attend if anyone in your bubble is showing symptoms.
This coming Saturday 17 Oct, Phase 1 return will be the lane swimmers only.  If you do not wish or feel up to returning yet it’s fine, just let us know.
Phase 2 (assisted swimmers) return date will be confirmed in the coming week(s) once we have captured the learning from phase1.  Fyi, however, there will be no volunteers and assisted swimmers may only be assisted by a member of their family bubble.
Logistics:
– Session timing: 17.00-17.40 / .45 / .50 (staggered pool exit to reduce interaction & shower / changing bottleneck).
– Venue: Braywick Leisure Centre, Braywick Cemetry, Maidenhead SL6 1DJ
– Pay & display parking
– Lockers require padlock.
Arrival:
– we will take the temperature of all on arrival before you enter leisure centre building. Please do not enter the building until you & yours have all been checked.
– If you arrive early please wait in your car.
– Someone from the committee will be outside from around 16.30.
– If any temperature is outside the normal tolerance you wont be allowed to enter / swim.
– Face covers must be worn by everyone over age of 11 unless a medical condition prevents it. Swimmers’ (only swimmers) face covers may be removed when poolside.  Others must remain on when poolside.
– Please use sanitizer if available when entering the building.
– Swimmers should arrive pool-ready and lockers may be used.
– Non-swimmers should wear overshoe covers (available on entering the changing rooms) or they will be required to go barefoot when poolside.
– Swimmers and parents should then go & sit poolside (not upstairs) until called into the water.
– Please observe social distancing in the poolside seating area, sitting in family bubbles.
Exit:
– Pool exit will be staggered by the teachers to manage the flow of swimmers to limit interaction & grouping.
– Showers may be used on existing the pool (note there are only poolside showers (no enclosed showers) at Braywick).

– Please exit the changing area & venue promptly.  We must exit the building by 18.10 latest as it will close sharp @ 18.15.
