Swim Lesson COVID-19 Guidelines 

Welcome to the Township of Woolwich Aquatic Program!

• If a customer is registered in the following levels: Swimmer 4 or below then a competent deep end swimmer must attend the full lesson. This parent/guardian must be over the age of 16 years of age.

• Only one parent/ guardian per child registered in the Parent & Tot and Small Group lessons will be able to participate.
• Parents/ guardians are not permitted to watch Aquatic Leadership Courses. They will drop off and pick up their child at the main entrance of the facility. 

• Come ready to swim! Remember your bathing suit and towel! Bathing suits should not have built-in flotation, and you do not need to bring a PFD to lessons.  For beginner swimmers, goggles can be a false sense of security. If your swimmer feels that they need goggles, they may bring them; although your instructor will encourage swimmers to be comfortable without goggles.
• Shower before you swim.
• Help us keep our pool water safe and prevent pool contamination. Please refrain from eating large meals before swimming. All swimmers are encouraged to visit the washroom before entering the pool; those without bowel control are required to wear a swim diaper. 
• Strollers are not permitted on the pool deck.
• Learning to swim is more than just swimming lessons. Practice swimming skills outside of lessons – join a family or public swim to reinforce what is learned in lessons. Ask your instructor what skills should be practiced, or refer to the charts posted in the pool viewing areas for a summary of each level’s skills.
• Focus on SAFE and SUCCESSFUL. Learning to swim is a life skill, and it takes time. Allow your swimmer to progress at their own rate, and keep realistic expectations. Remember, learning to swim is about mastering the skills to be safe in the water, not about passing the levels.
• Talk to your instructor & the Supervisor. Ask about successes and areas of improvement. Have a concern? Please let your instructor or the Lesson Supervisor know early in the session.
