Safety Standards:

The safety of our swimmers, parents and team members is of the utmost importance. Goldfish Swim School follows all CDC and WHO safety standards along with following any local guidelines. In addition here are some additional safety precautions and procedures we follow:

• Every shift has an on-staff cleaner to sanitize high touch areas in our lobby and pool areas.
• Our pools are disinfected with chlorine to provide the safest swimming environment. The CDC states that proper operation, maintenance and disinfection of the water with chlorine should remove or inactivate the virus
