Pool Policies & Procedures

COVID-19 has had a huge impact on the way we live, play and work. Swimming and other related activated are excellent ways to get the physical activity needed for a healthy lifestyle. The use of swimming pools is considered a low risk activity as long as the pool is operated and maintained properly and everyone does their part to keep others safe. There is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread to humans through pool water. Proper maintenance, operation and disinfection (i.e. with chlorine) of pools and hot tubs should inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19. Appropriate care should be taken both in and outside the pool, to protect yourself and others. Policies and procedures for the Oliver Pool have been developed to minimize the risk COVID-19 poses to the health of its employees and to the public. It is imperative that all posted guidelines and directions from the Lifeguards are followed at all times. Here are some things to consider before you come and during your visit: • Do not come to the pool if you are sick or feel unwell, or if you have been told to self-isolate • Everyone must wash/sanitize their hands when entering the pool area using soap and water or hand-sanitizer • Shower before using the pool and when you get home • Do not spit of blow your nose in the water • Practice physical distancing by keeping 2 meters between family units • Do not bring valuables or extra belongings to the pool as lockers will not be in use, bags of personal belongings can be hung on the fence or left on the deck • Our maximum bather load at all swim times is forty (40) persons including the pool, hot tub and on deck. The maximum bather load for the hot tub is five (5) persons. • Due to the reduced number of people that can be in the pool area at one time, please limit spectating of swim lessons to 1 parent/guardian. • All Aquafit classes will have limited spaces and we strongly encourage participants to book their spot in advance. Read through the following pages to learn more about the upcoming season at the Oliver Pool and if you have any questions about our safety plan, the pool schedule, swim lessons, pool rentals or admissions please call 250-498-4985 or email pool@oliverrecreation.ca

The Oliver Parks and Recreation Society Aquatics team is pleased to welcome you to the Oliver Pool this summer!

Because of the unpredictable nature of lightning and its often disastrous consequences, the Oliver Community Pool will always adhere to the following safety guidelines as set out by the NATIONAL LIGHTNING SAFETY INSTITUTE. 1. When thunder is heard 30 seconds or less after a flash of lightning is observed, the pool will be cleared. Staff strongly recommends that all patrons remain inside the pool building until the storm subsides. 2. Pool activities shall remain suspended until 30 minutes after the last thunder is heard. There will be no exceptions. It should be noted that storms are erratic and even though it may appear “safe” to resume activity, it is not. 3. Red Cross lessons are also subject to cancellation due to lightning. There will be no reimbursement or rescheduling of the classes that are cancelled due to weather.
