Safety Protocols

We ask that all customers practice polite behavior and amicable social conduct while onsite. Respecting the rights of individuals includes refraining from abusive language, threats, violent outbursts, intimidation, bullying, harassment or other abusive, aggressive or disruptive behaviors against AquaTech customers, and employees. AquaTech employees are trained and employed to uphold AquaTech’s policies, procedures and processes. If a situation occurs that does not align with our policy, a termination of services may be issued.

PARENT PRE-SCREEN FOR ILLNESS: Responsible adults are asked to ensure a child is not sick or exhibiting signs of sickness on lesson days (fever, chills, cough, loss of smell or taste). Under no circumstances should a child be brought to lessons if the child is sick or showing signs of sickness. Additionally, if the family has been exposed to anyone that has travelled internationally or been closely exposed to a person that has tested positive for Covid-19, we ask that you refrain from lessons for a minimum of 14 days.

 

LIMITED SPECTATOR VIEWING: A responsible adult is required to remain onsite during a swimmers lesson or reservation. A maximum of 1 spectating adult is allowed to attend swimmer(s) into the facility for lessons. That means a total of 1 adult per family is allowed in the viewing area during lessons. It is advised to leave additional siblings at home when possible. If not possible, it is advised to keep additional siblings close to you at all times. All swimmer clothing, shoes, masks, towels, etc should be left with the spectating adult in the viewing area and not brought onto the pool deck. 

 

FACE COVERINGS REQUIRED: All persons aged 3+ are required to wear face coverings (nose & mouth) while in the facility. Exceptions include those participating in lessons or recreational swim while they are in the water.

 

SHOWER & CHANGING STALLS: ALL swimmers must arrive at the facility dressed and ready for a swim (both children and adult participants). Showers and changing stalls are available for AFTER swim showering and changing only. Tadpole & AquaBaby children can use the restrooms prior to lessons to change into their swim diapers. All adults and children participating in lessons should arrive dressed in swim suits.  Each swimmer participant MUST check in at the front desk to get their assigned swim basket number before each lesson / reservation.  Showers are for rinse purposes only, no soap or shampoo is allowed. 

 

ENTRY CONTROL POINT: All swimmers are advised to enter the facility no earlier than 10 minutes prior to lesson start time. A one-way flow through the building has been arranged and should be followed at all times. Enter through the designated entrance and exit through the designated exits. 

 

SOCIAL DISTANCING: Social distancing and directional cues should be followed throughout the facility.

AIR DISINFECTION SYSTEMS: 

 

NEGATIVE PRESSURE "INFLOW" SYSTEMS:  AquaTech uses air systems that hospitals utilize for Infectious Patient Isolation. Inflow is a tried-and-true, proven isolation technique for which the goal is to ensure that any breach in the containment barrier will cause ‘clean’ air from surrounding spaces to flow in, as opposed to allowing ‘dirty’ air from the contaminated area to escape. In accordance with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Guidelines, this method has been used for decades by environmental remediation companies for effective containment and control of hazardous indoor air contaminants.

 

ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT (UV) LAMP AIR SCRUBBER SOLUTION:  In addition to managing negative airflow we now added 11 UV lamps to our air duct systems. This will remove or destroy up to 99% of all surface and airborne contaminants. Protects people from dangerous contaminants and pollutants.

 

SURFACE DISINFECTION SYSTEMS & PROTOCOL:

 

ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT (UV) SURFACE CLEANING WANDS:  AquaTech uses the UV light wand to clean commonly used surfaces with 100% ozone free and chemical free. Each wand is powered by 20 x UVC LED, disinfects and eliminates up to 99.9% of germs, viruses and bacteria. No water or chemicals needed.

 

STAFF CLEANING ROUNDS:  Our staff follows a strict cleaning protocol, with extra cleaning rounds between transitions and utilize UV sanitizing wands, as well as, liquid cleaning chemicals, etc.

 

PROFESSIONAL CLEANERS: AquaTech utilizes professional cleaning companies to clean both our facilities and pools on a regular basis. The facility is professionally cleaned and sanitized 7 nights a week.

ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT (UV) DISINFECTION SYSTEMS: The Best Known Killer of COVID-19 – we use a Quad Reactor Neptune Benson UV System which blasts our water 8-10 times a day! These best of breed UV systems utilize the power of the sun to kill 99.9% of all viruses and bacteria on contact.

 

WATER CHEMISTRY: We utilize Chlorine and Muriatic acid, etc. to manage our pool chemistry and meticulously monitor our pool chemistry with the support of Certified Pool Operators.

 

POOL FILTRATION SYSTEMS: AquaTech pools have amazing filtrations systems that are professionally maintained 3+ times per week. These systems filter out oils, chemical bi-products, skin, hair, etc. from the pool.

 

REVERSE OSMOSIS (RO) FILTRATION: This triple carbon filter RO system essentially turns our pool water into drinking water! Water is constantly filtering though this machine 24/7.

REDUCED CLASS SIZES: Class sizes have been reduced.

 

CLASS POD DISTANCING:  Instruction lanes have been spaced apart from each other so that classes in lanes next to each other begin and run from opposite sides of the pool.

 

REDUCED NUMBER OF INSTRUCTORS: AquaTech has reduced the number of instructors during operational hours to decrease the total number of occupants in the building at one time.

PROTECTIVE FACE COVERINGS: All AquaTech Swim are required to wear face mask and/or protective shields.

 

DAILY TEMPERATURE CHECKS: All staff are required to undergo temperature checks prior to each shift and will not be permitted to work if they are sick or showing signs of illness.

 

ONGOING TRAINING & AWARENESS: All staff are trained on how best to promote and uphold local health mandates.
