Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What are your safety protocols are in place for private swimming lessons?
   There is nothing more important to us than the safety of you, our members, our staff, and our volunteers. Guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), local health agencies, and public officials has been critical as we've updated our policies and planned for your return.
   
   Swim Instructors will be wearing face masks throughout the duration of swim lessons. Lifeguards will be wearing face masks at all times. Staff will also be disinfecting all touch points and equipment before every lesson. Staff are put through a health screen before each shift using state and local guidance.
   
   Instructional equipment will be limited to kick boards, kick sticks, and pull buoys and will be disinfected between users.
    
2. Is it safe for people to swim in shared water?
