Conduct & Hygiene Policies and Guidelines
- Please enter SwimJim’s rental facilities through the approved doors.
- Do not enter pool area until 10 minutes before your child’s class is scheduled to begin.
- Please use assigned changing areas or dressing rooms in the different facilities to dress and redress after class.
- Do not enter the pool without your child’s instructor in the water.
- Please allow swimmers finishing their classes to exit the pool before putting your child into the water.
- Children must NOT be left unattended before, during or after their lesson.
- Keep children’s fingernails and toenails cut and filed on a weekly basis. This prevents the instructors from being scratched. A child can be removed from class if this becomes a problem.
- Hair needs to be kept out of children’s faces. Long hair needs to be in a ponytail or swimming cap. Boys and girls with long bangs need to have bangs pulled back with a ponytail holder or a barrette.
- All children must enter the pool without food or gum in their mouths. Please avoid feeding your child dairy products and heavy, spicy foods several hours before class.
- NO FOOD OR DRINK IS PERMITTED ON THE POOL DECK.
- Remove all Band-Aids. If a wound is open and bleeding others will be at risk of contracting blood-borne pathogens. Please be considerate and use discretion with wounds that have not healed sufficiently.
- If your child has a fever or a contagious disease, please stay at home until the illness has subsided. If you are unsure, please consult your doctor for the proper course of action.
- All swimmers, regardless of age, must wear swimsuits.
- Children who are not COMPLETELY potty-trained must wear a Happy Nappy Swim Diaper with a swimsuit over the Happy Nappy diaper. Have older children use the restroom before their class is scheduled to begin. Please put a clean Happy Nappy diaper on non-trained tots before entering the pool.
- Children may wear goggles during class. However, the goggles are to remain on their eyes for the entire lesson. Please adjust the size and test for leaks before their class; instructors will not be able to make adjustments during class. If we feel your child is using the goggles as a crutch and cannot function without them, we may suggest a few lessons without the goggles.
- SwimJim, Inc. reserves the right to expel students who fail to comply with these guidelines
