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.
