At LifeCycle Swim School we’ve always prioritized the safety and well-being of our students, student guardians, staff and our larger community.
To help prevent the spread of COVID-19 we’re suspending public group classes until social distancing is relaxed, and we're confident that patrons and instructors are safe.
The primary reason swim lessons are canceled is because social distancing cannot be maintained before, during and after group swim lessons. Although we cannot safely share these public spaces at this time, it's reassuring to learn that, according to the CDC:
"There is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread to humans through the use of pools or hot tubs. Proper operation, maintenance, and disinfection (e.g. with chlorine and bromine) of pools and hot tubs should remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19.” For more information about COVID-19 and water transmission, please go to: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/php/water.html
When social distancing guidelines allow for swim lessons, we’ll be ready to continue providing our premium swim services.
Please continue reading below about further questions you may have about the future of our swim lessons, and the safety steps we’re taking.
