GUIDE 2021 Pool Location: 138 North Street, Glencoe, ON Municipal Office Phone: 519-287-2015 - Southwest Middlesex
COVID-19 Protocols
 Aquatic activities will be modified to follow guidelines and health precautions as set
 out by the Province of Ontario and the Middlesex-London Health Unit, including
 physical distancing and group size restrictions.

 All activities are subject to change at any time.

 What to Expect at the Pool:
   Users will be health screened prior to being admitted for their activity or program
   Guardian (must be 16+) is required to supervise users under the age of 10- please
   limit to one guardian per family; Guardians who will not be going into the pool
   at public swims will not be charged admission, but will count towards the
   maximum capacity
   Please arrive 5-10 minutes before your schedule program, ready to swim in your
   bathing suit
   Following health screening, proceed directly to the pool deck following directions
   from staff and posted signage
   Bathrooms will be available for limited use during swim times only if necessary -
   use at own risk
   Please leave at the conclusion of your activities through the designated exit
   points
   Do not enter the main building or linger on deck

 The Municipality of Southwest Middlesex reminds users of the pool and splash
 pad that health measures remain in place to stop the spread of COVID-19 in the
 community. While using our facilities:
    If you are feeling unwell, please do not come to the pool or splash pad; if you feel
    unwell we suggest you get tested for COVID-19 before attending public facilities
    Stay 2 meters/6 feet apart from others outside of your family at all times
    Follow all social distancing guidelines
    Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use an
    alcohol-based hand sanitizer

 For your health and safety expect health screenings, change rooms to be closed, and
 physical distancing requirements to be in place.

 Users voluntarily assume risk as posted at the pool.

     Thank you for your understanding
COVID-19 Related Details
 Assumption of Risk:
 Users of Southwest Middlesex facilities (including the pool) are reminded that these
 areas are use at your own risk. An inherent risk of exposure to communicable
 diseases including COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present.
 By visiting our pool, you voluntarily assume all risks including any of injury, loss,
 damage, and possible exposure to a communicable disease including COVID-19.
 We remind you to follow the COVID-19 precautionary guidelines being
 recommended by various Canadian authorities including the Middlesex-London
 Health Unit, Ontario Health, and the Public Health Agency of Canada

 Social Distancing:
 At all times we require visitors to practice safe social distancing from everyone not
 from their household, including our lifeguards and other staff. As a result, each
 student in Level 3 and below MUST have their own swim-capable guardian (from
 their social bubble) with them in the water for every single lesson - no exceptions.
 Do not arrive too early for lessons, as you will not be permitted onto the deck until
 the previous group has left, those waiting in line must social distance from each
 other.

 Health-Screening:
 You MUST complete a paper or online COVID-19 self-assessment before
 entering our facilities. Upon arrival to our pool, you will be asked to provide a
 COVID-self assessment form for each person in your group every day (if possible,
 please print in advance and bring completed to save time - this is posted on our
 website and Facebook page) and we will provide extras at the pool. There will also
 be a QR code at the pool to complete the self-assessment online before you enter
 the facility.

 No Change Rooms:
 Our pool change rooms are not large enough to allow safe social distancing, as a
 result, you will need to arrive and leave with your swim suits on. Washrooms are
 available for attendees one at a time.

 Modified Exit Points from Pool Deck:
 Users will exit via the gate at the back of the facility. This will avoid close contact
 with those entering the pool and those potentially lined-up for the adjacent splash
 pad. Anyone with mobility issues may request to exit via the gate closet to the
 playground.

 Thank you for your understanding.
