General
Is it safe to visit your facilities?
There are no known specific risks associated with visiting an aquatic centre or health club, and as such, these facilities are considered at the same risk level as visiting any public facility. At this stage, the risk of the community spreading COVID-19 through our facility is low.

- Follow all staff instructions, social distancing and hygiene signage at all times.

I am sick, can I still visit your facilities?
We encourage anyone who has recently been or is currently sick, or who has been in contact with a confirmed or suspected COVID-19 carrier to remain at home and to seek advice from a medical professional.
What will happen if a COVID-19 infected person visits one of your facilities?
We have a specific infection control and response plan in place, which includes actions for disinfection of a facility and communication to patrons.
In the event of a suspected or confirmed COVID-19 carrier visiting a facility, this plan will be activated.
