Guidelines for all Pool Bookings

The pool openings meet all provincial and WorkSafeBC guidelines and public health protocols.

Health authorities have stated that there is no evidence COVID-19 can be spread to people through the water in pools, hot tubs, spas or water play areas. All potential users are reminded to stay home when feeling sick.

  • Changerooms will be closed; users will be expected to wear their swimsuits to and from the pool and place their belongings on a chair provided at the end of their lane.
  • Swimmers will be asked to arrive five to 10 minutes before their scheduled time, confirm their registration, rinse off in the on-deck shower and then enter the pool.
  • Masks will not be required because of the ability to physically distance.
  • There will be no shared equipment for use at this time.
  • All touchpoints, such as shower handles and bathroom doorknobs, will be thoroughly cleaned between sessions.
  • Users will be asked to leave promptly after their session to allow time for cleaning before the next group.
  • Dive boards will not initially be open.
  • No toys from home permitted.

Hours and procedures may be adjusted over time as users and staff become accustomed to the new measures.
