Sanitation Policy

Fecal contamination in or around a pool poses a serious health risk to all using the facility. When an accident occurs, the Health Department requires that we close our pool in the event of bodily fluid contamination. We are forced to shut down operations for an extended period of time to properly clean and sanitize our facility. We are trying to reduce the spread of disease and inconvenience to swimmers whose lessons are cancelled. For the health and safety of our swimmers and instructors, please follow the following guidelines:

PLEASE READ THESE GUIDELINES CAREFULLY!

• Children who are not 100% potty trained must wear a disposable diaper and a reusable swim diapers (i.e. plastic swim diapers) under their swim suits.
• Our definition of potty trained is: A child who has the capacity to know when they need to use the restroom and will ask to be let out of the pool to go to the bathroom.  If your child is not quite there, please put them in a reusable swim diaper.
• Parents may not bring a child to swim class if the child is experiencing intestinal distress, or has had any symptoms of diarrhea within 36 hours.
• If a child has an accident in the pool, they will not be allowed to return that day.  Their swim diaper must be properly disinfected, with bacteria-killing disinfectants. no make-up day for this class will be scheduled, a self-practice ticket will be issued instead.
• In the event a child has an accident, is potty trained, did not ask to use the restroom, and is not wearing a swim diaper, there will be a $250 fine.
• Parents are expected to dispose of soiled swim diapers in the proper containers.
• Parents are expected to assist in cleaning leakage from contaminated areas, i.e. decks, changing tables, showers, toilets, dressing room, etc. The SCSC staff will follow up by cleaning and disinfecting the entire pool area and pool.
• In the event a child has an accident while wearing a swim diaper under their swim suit, he/she will be required to wear two plastic swim diapers over their suit in the future.
• If a potty-trained child has an accident and fails to communicate the need to use the restroom, they will be required to wear a swim diaper under their swim suit until suitable communication is established.
• If a parent has taken all the necessary precautions and an accident occurs, we will not levy the fine.
• If a student is prone to experiencing a gag reflex, we request that the student not eat at least two hours prior to participation in swim lessons and that parents exercise caution with liquids before class.
• If a student vomits in the pool, the student may not return to class that same day, no make-up day for this class will be scheduled, a self-practice ticket will be issued instead.
