Enhanced Safety
During Classes
When students enter the store or classroom or pool, confirm they are in good health:
- If you are unsure or uncomfortable, you should, please ask them to leave.
- All client’s wear facemasks while in the store, classroom and prior to entering the pool.
- All client’s personal items (and pets) should be left in their car. Any items must have been sanitized before being brought into the premises or set aside for sanitizing, such as gear to be used or serviced.
- Avoid crowding any area, and ask students to wait until you can free up some space.
- Wipe down the classroom, desks, countertops, pens and other used items after each client and at end of use.
Safety is a culture and it’s everyone’s responsibility.
Pay attention, use common sense, be proactive and stay safe.
