We have updated our makeup policy to allow 12 makeups per calendar year, simply login to the parent portal to mark your absence. If you aren’t ready to resume your lessons just yet that’s ok too, simply cancel your enrolment through the parent portal. Is the pool safe to use? The centre for disease control confirmed Chlorine is effective against a broad range of viruses and there is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread to through the use of pools. We pride ourselves on our water quality and continue to perform regular pool checks throughout the day. Can I bring a friend or partner to watch my child's swimming lesson? We recommend only 1 parent per child for spectating. During this period we ask that where possible, only students and one guardian attend the facility. Can we use the change rooms for Learn To Swim lessons? There will be limited access to the change rooms, even for Learn To Swim students. Please come dressed for your lesson. Ensure you have warm clothes for when you exit the pool. We recommend a robe, hoodie, trackies, warm slippers or ugg boots and a beanie. Do Learn To Swim students still have access to the pools throughout the week? BlueFit Swimming students have free access to the pools every day during the week. This amazing benefit will continue but in line with government restrictions. Is it safe for my child to go back to their swimming lessons? We have made slight modifications to our teaching techniques to protect our students and teachers. This includes using a doll when demonstrating activities and skills during infants classes. Reduced equipment within infant & preschool lessons to increase student safety. Only performing manual manipulation in the water when it is safe for both students and teachers Ensuring teachers instruct from the side or behind the student to reduce face to face contact. Replacing hi 5’s with the Bluey Bump at the conclusion of the lesson. To reduce equipment sharing we now have BlueFit Swimming Kickboards, Swim Caps and goggles available for purchase on the BlueFit Swimming website and in the facility.
